Worth Buying Book and Useful Book

This book is very useful to me. As a JAVA programmer i found this a worth buying book. Covers lot of interested topics ranging from intermediate to advanced topics. The author discussed most of the day-to-day java practical problems in a nice way. I thank the author for giving this excellent book for a Java programmer in a very reasonable price.

Very good to start you off.

I used to be a C/C++ guy :) who wanted to learn Java. I know about algorithms, OOP, structures, blah-blah-blah. I don't need to be told what += does, and what an if-statement is. I just wanted to learn a new language, and this book does a great job in running (not walking) you through some simple applications and applets. It assumes you can get and install the JDK yourself. If you're a programmer who wants to start learning Java, this book works great. Unfortunately, since it makes Java learning so easy, you'll quickly out-grow it. I now need a more thorough book, 'cos now I wanna re-write everything at work in Java! :)

Try it

Not just a simple how-to book that presents only one or two lines of syntax. You will learn how to manipulate your java programming skills to put together a working program. Here is just an example of the how-to question from the book: Problem: I'd like to draw lines to the screen and be able to plot a mathematical function like the sine curve. I also want to plot both x and y axes....How do I draw these lines? The author then presents the solution to the problem in a simple but fully working program.

Clear, effective

If you want to practice JAVA, this is it !! basic Java books I recommend: 'Java Software Solutions', 'Just Java' , Data Structures & Algorithms in Java ......and then focus on the subject interesting to you..

A solid howto from the fine tradition of Waite Group

Wide ranging topics in Java. This is not a beginner book
