Review

This is the sort of book that you'll either love or hate. Some people will see the large, friendly pictures and expect a 'Java for Dummies' type of book. Those people will be frustrated by the absurdist references and will wish they had bought a different book.
While this is a book about Java, it is NOT a Java reference or tutorial.

This book is recommended for people who have enough programming experience to tell the difference between humor and misinformation. Having an appreciation of the absurd helps too.

Synopsis

There is simply no better way to learn Java than to have the pineal gland of an expert Java programmer surgically implanted in your brain. Sadly, most HMOs refuse to pay for this career saving procedure, deeming Java to be too experimental. At last there is an alternative treatment for those of us who cannot wait for sweeping health care reforms.

Mr. Bunny's Big Cup O' Java is recommended by n out of ten doctors, where n is any integer you wish to make up to impress an astoundingly gullible public.

The book begins with an overview of the book, and quickly expands into the book itself. Just look at the topics covered:

  • Mr. Bunny's rucksack
  • Farmer Jake's overalls
  • Java

In short, MBBCOJ will teach you all you need to know for a successful career in today's rabbit development environments.

"I sincerely hope this book increases the donor pool." --CE3

The Mr. Bunny series is supported, endorsed, and authored by Carlton Egremont III, Esquire, recluse, and all-around weirdo. It is the official place to go when you simply must go someplace official. The books in this series provide no information whatsoever. The series is an indispensable resource for Janet from Reno. ...from the hip The Mr. Bunny series
