[Bunkhouse] Review of "Java Fundamentals I and II (Video Training)" by Deitel and Associates Inc.
Marc reviewed Java Fundamentals I and II (Video Training) by Deitel and Associates Inc. and gave it 6 out of 10 horseshoes. (Amazon)
This was basically fourteen hours of staring at code already written in a NetBeans editor while a faceless (and somewhat monotone) voice explained how the code works. The mouse pointer moves around or highlights some text to point out a particular area of code, the lessons sometimes shift to JavaDoc or a diagram, and you see Paul's face while he gives the intro and summary of each lesson – but it wasn't enough to keep me engaged. ... Overall, this LiveLessons DVD pack isn't horrible - I simply think the Deitel book is a better value ...
