Summary: The basics, but not well organized
Comment: As a prevous reviewer stated, this book does indeed cover all the basics on how to create Windows-based Java applications, including all the dialogs, frames, and controls you'd want to use. (Note: becasue this is a J++ book, it DOES focus on WFC and windows-specific applications, and only touches on the platform-independent AWT packages) My main problem is with the organization of the book. When topics such as hash tables and the Debug classes is covered, the surfaces are only scratched, and a lot of detailed information is left out. (The Debug class section is particularly poor and lacking in explanation). This is all true in other sections where some controls are covered and others are not. Some important topics are brought up in an off-hand way in seemingly unrelated sections, which, for me, breaks up the flow of the book and confuses things. (for example, bringing up the topic of the java.lang.reflection package and ennumerations in the middle of the ListBox explanations).
Code samples are great, but this book depends on you actually READING the code, and follows the code with a breakdown of what happened in the code. Although this method of writing works, it makes it a bit tedious on the reader.
Although a lot of these comments sound bad, however, it is a useful book. You just really need to focus when you are reading the material. Make sure you read a good "learn java in XX days" first if you haven't already learned the basics of Java - quite a bit of general knowledge is assumed.

Summary: This book is very thorough.
Comment: This book is better than online support. I was able to accomplish both idle event processing and custom dynamic link libraries from the examples presented in this book. It is by far the best Visual J++ book written.

Summary: covers the basics, a good start
Comment: I think this is a good book for starting Visual J++ programming. It covers pretty much all of the major programming aspects. The author did a good job. I also found it easy to follow and appreciated that most of the programs I have worked (except one, that I still don't know what it does) are executing fine. Since I am coding a Java wrapper for custom DLL access, I wish there were more J/Direct examples. But overall, I would highly recommend this book to people who would like to start on Visual J++
