Excellent for newcomers to programming

I came to this book with almost no programming experience but good analytical abilities. I wanted to learn the equivalent of what is covered by a CS1 course, and this book fit my needs exactly. This book is an interesting read, clearly introduces topics, and avoids unnecessary wordiness. The exercises and programming projects are thorough. There are always one or two more lengthy projects included in each chapter for those...

Concise and well-organized

I chose this as a textbook for our introductory programming course here, and I've not been disappointed. Though I don't ask my students to read it, many of them have been - and that itself speaks volumes for how readable this book is.Most books tend to get overfull with needless details. King generally avoids this, parceling out the information without getting bogged down. Often, King splits what would normally be a chapter...

Very good introduction to Java Programming

This is a very introductory text on java programming. KN King has written this book in the same style as his excellent text on C programming. This is as good an introduction to Java as one can get - but one needs to keep in mind that this does not cover any of the standard libraries like swing, awt, etc. or advanced topics like threads, databases. It is pitched to a person who is new to computer programming. With this...

Great Work

As a someone new to programing I deeply appreciate the approach taken by Mr. King. By concentrating on the fundamentals of the language his book gives one the solid foundation needed before moving on to more advanced areas. Upon finishing this book I have no doubt that my learning curve has been greatly reduced. This book will be as good for a long time to come due to the fact that it dosen't get caught up with what's "hot"...

K.N. King does it again!

Once again K.N. King produced a masterpiece. This book is the best book that I have ever read for students with no prior programming experience. In addition I believe that professional non-Java programmers can gain unique insight and a bottom up understanding of the Java language and of object oriented concepts by reading this book. The text is clear, thorough, and chock full of great examples and projects. If you want...
