| | Amazon.com: Objects First with Java: A Practical Introduction Using BlueJ: Books: David J. Barnes,Michael Kolling (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | BlueJ supports teaching tools that are not available in other environments, including the visualisation of class structure. |
 | | The book seems to be written for a "new breed" of students in times of Mass-Education, that is: students who want to learn programming vocationally rather than scientifically; students who want to apply programming to "real-world" jobs rather than to study a programming language for the sake of its own beauty. |
 | | The text and style of the book itself is, in my opinion, rather tiring and tedious, too packed and cluttered with "projects", too repetitive, too self-interrupting with all sorts of "windows" and "boxes" etc. The same contents could have been presented in a much leaner, much more concise and much less repetitive fashion. |
