Creating Effective JavaHelp Review, March 08 2001
This is an excellent book.
The author has done a great job providing instructions A-Z.
In a few short chapters the book takes you thru the whole process, starting with creating your help topics, integrating with Java applications, and finishing with deployment instructions. The book also provides a concise, to-the-point reference section.
Very easy reading, yet extremely effective and instructional.
I strongly recommend this book to any developers considering JavaHelp for their
applications.

This is such a good book; clear, short and to the point! My developers wished that we would have found this book when we were at the start of our first big Java project-they estimate that they could have saved about 2 or 3 production weeks.
I would also like to pay a compliment to the Sun tech support staff. We had been using RoboHelp as the editor for our JavaHelp and were having some serious problems (which were related to RoboHelp, not JavaHelp) RoboHelp's support people were not able to support their own product. The Sun people not only resolved our issue, but offered several work-arounds for other possible issues that they had seen develop...so very helpful, polite, and they went that extra bit for a customer.
...kinda' like human versions of your great book!

Easy to understand, excellent examples, essential information
After having worked on a JavaHelp (JH) project over a year ago when JH
was still very young (1.0 was just about to be released), and having to
wade through the JH User's Guide and JH Specification then for information,
I found this book very good for bringing myself back up-to-speed for
resuming the project after a year layoff. I wished I would've had it when I
initially began the project a year ago.
This book is very easy to read, contains excellent examples, and has the
the proper level of information to get help writers started on the right foot
with JH so they are productive quickly. It is written for the help writer but
includes just enough detail for helping developers that the help writer may
have to work with in order to implement a JH system. Overall, a very good
book that I am recommending to other writers assigned JH projects.
Media reviews "Creating Effective JavaHelp is an easy to understand and follow guide to Sun Microsystem's new JavaHelp program for creating on line help in Java.I loved the readabilty of this book. The author assumes only knowledge of HTML and nice job of providing a clear, concise layout of the entire help system. I found the book very readable, very well organized and a invaluable help in working with the JavaHelp program. All trademarks of an O'Reilly book. If you are working with Java programming and including a help system into your programs, this is an ideal book to get you right into the meat of setting up and creating your help system." --Wes Ritchey, The Internet Eye, Dec 2000
