Wu's book provides a gentle introduction to programming using java as the implementation language. With many jobs available in computer programming, people are eager to learn, and this book gives them the handles they will need. Wu's use of what he calls "object diagrams" to explain the basics of programming, make his visual approach far superior to that of the competition.

2.0 out of 5 stars
for novices, just don't do it,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming With Java (Paperback)
Hi,I'm a student using this as a textbook for intro to Object Oriented Programming using Java. This book is a nightmare. Please, if you're an instructor, don't use this book for your class. Me and others alike who are novices are confused by this book. If you use this book, expect to re-explain a lot to your students. The explanations of the basics are very confusing, as well as the wording alone. I'm confused by the wording of basic concepts I even understood in the text. It seems to get a little better once you get the roots of the programming down. But for me the most important part of a text is explaining the core concepts. Maybe this isn't for the novice, but for those of us in my class who are, we agree, just don't get this book.

Not introductory enough,
This review is from: An Introduction To Object-Oriented Programming with Java (Paperback)
I found this book to be helpful to a point, but it jumps around a lot, and to a beginning programmer, it can be a bit confusing. My suggestion to professors wanting to use this book for their classes is: find one more simplified only the experienced students understand it enough to implement it.

Visual Java Teaching Book,
By Salman Hajipour (Tehran, Iran) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming With Java (Hardcover)
A good visual book, teaching by the UML diagrams. Suitable for beginners to intermediate level and a bit more. Nice colorful book. With the help of "Sample Developments" this book will give you some real practical experiments throughout each chapter. My suggestion for those who want to begin Java with no prior programming experience is "Java 60 Minutes a Day" which you can find it in my review list. In my view, as an intermediat programmer, is a bit difficult to understand core java with this book.
