Summary: Talks the features but doesnt show you how
Review: As a start up J++ developer this books lacks what I was looking for or need. This is really a outline of what it will do, ie whether to purchuse J++ or not.

Summary: A descent book on Visual J++ 6.0
Review: Getting beyond Java religious fervor is difficult for some. Technically speaking, this book goes into lots of important detail including WFC, J/Direct, etc. The only better book on VJ++ on the market as of this writing is the Programming Visual J++ book also in the Microsoft Press series by Stephen Davis. Visual J++ is an important contribution to the language and is actually less of a resource hog than other IDEs than Symantec or VisualAge.

Summary: Not the Java I expected....
Review: If you wanna learn Java don't try this but, basically it's divided in two chapters, the first one has nothing but technical references and the other one has a minnimum of code and it really doesn't explain how to program at all.If you wanna make programs with forms try Visual Basic!

Summary: Want real Java? Avoid Microsoft products.
Review: It is to Microsoft's financial advantage to crush Java, because the language's platform independence represents a threat to their monopoly. They are using their usual tactic of "embrace, extend, and extinguish" in the case of Visual J++. This is confirmed by Java experts on forums such as news://comp.lang.java.programmer, and by Sun's recent lawsuit against Microsoft for violation of the contract by which Microsoft uses the Java trademark. Besides that, the tool is simply inferior to real Java products such as Borland JBuilder and Symantec Cafe. It is a struggle to use it to do useful work, despite the bleatings of the MS spin machine, which has clearly been at work amongst the suits at amazon.com. Want real Java? Avoid Microsoft and its books. Want Microsoft? Stick to Visual Basic.
