Programming for Linguists: Java Technology for Language Researchers

Rating:
Summary: Very low level.
Review: I think this book is intended for people with no programming experience at all. As such it was not very useful to me. Being interested in linguistics and programming for linguist I had a hard time finding real information in this book. I strongly advise not to buy this book.
Being a non-native English speaker I apologise for the errors in my writing.

Summary: Of course it's for beginners
Review: This book is indeed for beginners - it's Java programming for linguists, not linguistics for Java programmers! It is an introduction to Java programming for people who are mainly interested in corpus linguistics and text processing rather than, say, web applets or business programming. And I think it does a decent job. So does the companion volume for Perl. I only wish there were a Python edition in the series.
