rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author phogen - I purchased this book because it was required for my college CS3 Java class. This is my third quarter of Java, so I consider myself to be fairly decent at it. I can honestly tell you that I have learned nothing from this book.

Thu, 30 Nov 2000 03:34:24 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author phogen - As a freshman at RIT, I am currently staying in the on campus dorms. All the dorms have been fully renovated and are very nice. The one think about them is that they are very small. It's almost a necessary for the beds to be lofted, which means you have...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author phogen - I'm currently a freshman at RIT. As an academic school, it is wonderful. That's why I chose to come here. What I didn't realize was that the social life here is next to nothing. They have very few events for the students that would be considered fun...

Great Book For Beginners
