Summary: good book
Review: Having spent thousands on Programming books, I have found that anything with Herb Schlidt's name on it is by far the best books I own.
Rating: 
Summary: First rate! Heads and shoulders above the rest.
Review: I have not completed book yet, but so far it delivers on its promise. I have read (or attempted to read) two or three others, all of which meander around, deviating far from stated course. This book is concise, direct to point and very well written. Recommend it highly!

Summary: Good book, best I have seen, here's my criticism
Review: OK, so I am hard to please... The book was very good- delivered on its promise to teach Java Beans. I have the following observations:1) Never came out and said exactly what a Java Bean is- a component that can be manipulated in a visual builder. The Beans spec addresses the mechanism by which a Bean exposes its features to the Builder. The book covers additional material, which *should* be covered, but never makes clear what makes a Bean a Bean. 2) Stuffed (padded?) with examples. 3) Section on Introspection was not as clear as it could have been. I downloaded the Beans spec from the Sun site, and that helped fill in the gaps. Overall, I would definitely recommend this book.

Summary: Great reference book
Review: This book was loaded with examples. The examples can be downloaded off of the internet, which is great because I've had CDs in books arrive broken before. The step-by-step RMI instructions helped me a lot with my assignments, and I learned a lot of stuff from this book. I would not recommend this book to a programming beginner, though. It assumes that you know at least some basics of a high level language.

Summary: good book
Review: This is a very good book well worth the money. I would have given it 5 star rating, except for one thing. The author should have explained more clearly about the method of mapping used in chapter 3 since it is different from the previous chapters. It took me very long time to figure it out. My conclusion is go buy it, but be aware of what I just said.
