Summary: Very good book to get started on Visual Age for Java
Comment: This is an excellent book to get started for somebody who has no previous experience with Visual Age for Java. Visual Age for Java is a powerful and very professional tool, offering many capabilities, well suited for ambitious projects, but also a complex tool to learn. Dale R. Nilsson makes it easy to get started.

The author lets you build a simple calculator, explainig each step in great detail. A large number of screen shots provide assurance to the reader that he is not taking a wrong turn. By the time you have worked yourself through this, you are ready to tackle complex tasks.

Well suited for self study. Highly recommended for anybody who wants to get started on Visual Age.

Summary: A few Comments
Comment: I would have given the books higher marks, the first 8 chapters actually do help, and provide alot of information about Java Bean development, with helpful examples.

However after chapter 8, it almost seems as if there is a differnet author, the examples do not match the screen shots, the screen shots are haphazard and incomplete, and there are missing steps.

Even the included examples do not work (after chapter 8)

So, save your money..dont buy the book

Summary: Good to learn about Visual Programming but little else.
Comment: This is a so-so book, very good for learning Visual Programming and GUIs with VAJ but little else. I felt cheated when I found that the database db2 provided in the CD did not work because it had expired even before I ran it the first time! In the later chapters on database access, we need a database so I had to use Access instead with a lot of trial and errors. Bad. I doubt if a beginner could do that. I hope the authors are careful about this. I bought this book solely for my VAJ certification exam, I doubt if its good enough for this though they say it is, in the Introduction.
