How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Christopher L. Phillips
5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely LOVE this book!
Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2016
I absolutely LOVE this book. I have been a mainframe developer for 18 years, but over those years I have tried to keep myself current on PC based languages. I've taken classes in c++, Java, and HTML, so I had a little experience with Java before buying this book. Unfortunately, even after passing every University Java class (basic and advanced) with A+'s , whenever I would take a mock OCA exam on the internet I would fail miserably.

I finally decided that I needed to buy this book and start learning what the Universities weren't teaching me. I have to say, I really wish that I would have done this long ago. The information in this book feels so complete, and it's in a very easy to understand format. The authors did a fantastic job with taking something so complex and making it feel easy.

The first couple of chapters, IMO, were worth the cost of the entire book. That's where they're talking about access modifiers (default, public, protected, private), inheritence, polymorphism, and casting among other things. I feel as though I know REALLY DO know Java.

I also bought access to Enthuware's tests, and that is a SUPERB deal (around $10.00). I would HIGHLY recommend buying this book AND Enthuware's tests.

Don't buy this book with the expectation it will teach you all you need to know. It's light on the either side of the testing series, but overall it's excellent. I absolutely appreciated the levity in the book though, and will hold on to it for the future.

It's an OKAY book. The thing I find the most annoying about this book is that they often take a long time to get to the point! This book could probably be half the size if they would just get to the POINT !

3.0 out of 5 stars Great book, with a big downside
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2014

I'm studying by this book and so far it has been a really productive study.
The book is written in a great way, is shows you examples, explains all the complex details of JAVA with much simplicity and have a really cool humor. If you would asked me, I would definitely recommend it, although it has a really big down side.

You must be really careful with the exercises, both the CD and the book have erroneous solutions which is a real bummer, you always have to be careful when to trust an answer, and many time I have to check the answer by compiling a program on a Java IDE.

3.0 out of 5 stars No es para tanto
Reviewed in Spain on July 9, 2015

Parece bastante ameno de leer y estudiar, pero al final lo que hace es repetir y mezclar miles de veces los mismo conceptos sin acabar de dejarlos claros.
El CD con ejercicios del examen sólo trae 290 de las 500 que dice en la portada. No he conseguido encontrar las que faltan
