I've always been a fan of Deitel books but I have always found them heavy going to read from cover to cover. I mostly grab their books when I need to know how something is done. I can t remember the time they let me down when I needed help.
When I asked to review their Multimedia Cyber Classroom, I wanted to see if it would help me work through the whole book, because I honestly feel that if I could manage to do that, I will become a much better Java programmer. But alas it was not to be.
In general, I found the audio parts boring and of very little added value. Good points for me were the electronic Assessment exams but I wish they did the same for Self Review exercises. What I found fantastic was the fact that the complete book, Java How to Program, was available in electronic searchable format.
The CD is a constant companion in my briefcase now, it weighs much less than the book I promise you, and I get a lot of joy out of this easy way finding Java knowledge, and for that alone I advise you to get the Cyber version of this fantastic book, if you have the extra money.
The book gets a rating of 8, heck everything you want is there, but I'm afraid I can't give the Cyber part more than a 6, which makes a 7 average.
