My first reading of this book left me dazed and confused; then I read the reviews on Amazon, which were good, and decided to give it another try; with the same result! The book takes you through the design and development process for a Student Registration System while describing various Java language and OOP concepts along the way. It is well written and Ms. Barker knows what she's doing and where she's going but herein lies the problem. As the reader, I felt like a daytripper on a bus tour with Ms. Barker acting as the sight-seeing guide. If you're looking for an example case study and are curious as to how someone else builds an application; this book is for you. If you want to learn Java or you want to learn OOP, start somewhere else.
