Customer Reviews

Good intro to programming book

I recently bought this book while looking for books for my younger brother to learn programming with. I bought this book as a bridge between him knowing nothing and him starting in on "Thinking in Java" by Eckel. It is aimed towards someone new to programming who needs to get basic concepts common to any language (loops, I/O, variables, breaking a problem into pieces, etc.) and covers up throught the beginnings of O.O. It is a well thought out book and has exercises that range from relatively easy to challenging. It will be most helpful (like any intro book) combined with an experienced programmer to ask questions of. This book will not teach you all of the cool new features of Java, but if you have little to no prior programming experience, this will help you.

Insightful & funny exercises

It is an interesting book to read and the examples, exercises make it lots of fun. Quite readable all through.
