review 1: I'm taking this off my currently-reading shelf. It is more like a reference / school book that I will dip into from time to time. I may never finish it, but I will refer to it a lot. I bought it after reading "How to Lie with Statistics" and "The Tiger That Isn't", which I have reviewed elsewhere.Head First are generally very good books for learning something new. The graphic design and the language helps you digest the contents with ease.
review 2: This was horrible. All the useful stuff could've been fit on no more than 50 pages, with far better explanations. The method they use for presentation is able to drive mad almost everyone who's not mentally retarded or 3 years old.Also, this book explains stuff which is so elementary it drives you crazy. Why do they... more need 2-3 pages to tell me how to calculate the borders when you split an array in equally sized parts, how hard is is b[x:]=(len/num)*x... (x-th border for len-sized array split in num chunks).Pure waste of paper. less
