a decent introduction to JBuilder

I have to respond to a reader below. He was a little too harsh. The book is not intended to teach you JDBC, client/server, CORBA, RMI you name it. It does a good job explaining the fundamentals of Java and getting around JBuilder. Once you have this 'critical energy' you can make a quantum leap. I personally find the books attempting to cover everything in one big volume mostly bad and useless.

An enjoyable read just for the sake of it!

I enjoyed this book over and above as just a reference for JBuilder, which I don't even have as yet. There is a lot of neat design stuff and good Java coding to entertain and educate you beyond most books simple syntax approach. I learned some good coding approaches from this book, even though I read it more from a novel standpoint than grinding through all the examples. It is, in fact, one of the few Java books that I enjoy just picking up and casually thumbing through; John just has a nice, relaxed writing style. Check it out even if you don't have JBuilder!

A decent basic text

This book does a good job of teaching how to program in Java using JBuilder. It teaches Java concepts and syntax while also teaching how to use the JBuilder IDE. One thing I missed was coverage of Borland's Model-View architecture; I guess I'll have to buy another book to cover that. That's a pretty minor quibble, I guess, since I was able to use this book to go from knowing nothing about Java to implementing a fairly complex application in under two weeks. If the book had coverage of the Model-View architecture, and something on data sets, it'd easily rate a 10.

An excellent introduction to JBuilder and Java

A very good instruction source for the programmer wishing to learn about Java via Borland JBuilder. The book presents a series of carefully designed exercises which provide the reader with not only a guide to JBuilder, but a good knowledge base for Java and a reasonable level of understanding of what goes on behind the scenes in JBuilder. Very few bugs in the text and the code. Highly recommended.
