I was given this book as a gift and I must say I one of the best presents I received for my birthday. I am an aspiring engineer and have been studying programming for close to a year. I haven't put "programming for the evil genius" down since I got it. I'm one my 11th project -- it is fantastic!!!

Best Java Programming book I've come across. It starts easy then gets more and more complex - so it provided me with a ton of challenges. I'm suggestion to my CS teacher as a secondary text book.

If your into learning Java buy this book. It's the only project-based book I've found and it really is great.

The best project programming book I have found. I am rising college junior and have found Cinnamon's book to be an excellent adjunct to my college comp sci courses.

This book is a horrible entry to programming, best illustrated the fact that it chooses JAVA of all things.
