This book is more about how to write Java applications that connect to existing systems (such as BLAST) that Bioinformatics and Biomedical professionals already use, rather than how to write Java versions of those systems, the algorithms used in those systems, or algorithms generally relevant to the mentioned fields. While teaching someone to write Java applications that could send data, request service, and parse then display the results received from the queried systems is useful, such a book probably does not warrant such a high price tag as a book that teaches one how to write Java versions of algorithms useful for the Bioinformatics and Biomedical fields.

Finally, a book that introduces bioinformatics using Java. While Perl is great for pattern matching and basic scripting, it is not at all an ideal choice for complex bioinformatics applications at all levels of complexity.
