 Great introduction to object orientated programming November 19, 2008
Mr. Nj Reid (england)
I bought this book never having studied object orientated programming before.
Several weeks later I can now write basic programmes and understand more complicated ones written by others.
This book is by no means completely comprehensive; I suspect some of the later examples are more for illustrative purpose rather than useful in the real world.
I also found the constant use of command line arguments to input data a bit laborious.
A brief tutorial on how to operate any of the major IDE applications would also have been very useful.
However this book is very well written and easy to understand. Each concept is fully explored before moving onto the next.
The end of section multiple choice questions and problem based quizzes provide a great chance to test your knowledge of each chapter.
I would recommend this book to anyone looking to learn java or to get started on object orientated programming.
 Great for beginners in java or programming October 5, 2007
A. O'Carroll (Scotland)

I'm a pupil still at school but hoping to do Computer Games Technology at university next year. In preperation for my course which will involve C++, i was recommended by a senior lecturer to learn Java. I've seen a few books and this one is my favorite.
Again, I am still at school and find this book good. I'm using my spare time to learn Java so if it wasn't a good book, I wouldn't bother learning from it. Anyways, it is clearly layed out with a lesson for each day (although the lessons are long and will probably require a few days to complete each).
It is true that the book has some minor coding error but if you understand the language being taught up to the point of the error, it is really easy to spot and correct when writing it yourself. This also aids your learning; by spotting and correcting mistakes!
I had never done any programming or any sort before and this book is really helping me get my first language done with ease. Thus; this book is for complete beginners to programming or just to java.
If your looking to learn java and want an up-to-date book (for Java 6) this is it. Don't bother looking anywhere else or get an older book not meant for learning the newer versions of Java; GET THIS ONE.
Top stuff indeed!

A very good and well written book. Covers all the basics and more advanced concepts of java programming. Unlike some books it shows fully coded working examples.
I would recommend this book to any students at university (like myself) or wanna be programmers.
