Customer Reviews

A terrific introduction to Java for the beginner

This is by far the best book I have read on Java for a person with little or no experience in either Java or C++ (since Java is in many ways similar to C++ those with experience in C++ may want a more advanced book). It "offers a hands-on approach to teaching Java basics, object-oriented concepts, and applet programming." The source code is printed in color, which is nice, and the book is interspersed with countless examples. Perhaps the book's best feature is its direct and easily understood language. This book is not recommended for advanced programmers, but rather for the new or casual Java programmer. As stated before, this is by far the best introductory book to Java available so far!

A great introduction to programming

I am not a programmer and I can't even read programming books for Dummies, but I could understand this book, and I learned a lot.

Very Good

This is a very good beginner's book to the Java programming language. It is written at a very informal, non-technical level and the quality of the book itself is outstanding with many high quality illustrations and helpful diagrams. Not recommended for advanced programmers unless they want a casual introduction to Java or review some programming language basics
