5.0 out of 5 stars Great book to start Java!!!, July 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Java Programming Basics (Paperback)

I tried many java books but could not complete five chapters until i tried this. The author has translated what used to be challenging and soporific topics to me into concise, interesting and unstandable subject.

This review is from: Java Programming Basics (Paperback)

This book offers a good introduction to Java, discussing object-oriented concepts, Java applets and their uses, then goes into program structure, variables and classes, operators, and so forth. There's also chapters on Applet programming techniques, the Java API, security issues, and Java's future.

I'm not sure if this book is still in print, but if not find a used copy. It offers a wonderful overview of Java.
