After Reading this book, I felt I understand what programming is and especially the Graphics User Interface is most vividly described. Maybe because I have no programming experience and is eager to know what Java is about that I find this book useful in trying to understand what Java is all about. I sincerely recommed this book to beginners.

This woman is a moron. She has no business writing any type of instructional textbook. After attempting to learn Java with this book, I have a newfound definition for the word "frustration". Do yourself a favor and do not buy anything written or co-authored by this woman. I own the book but will not sell it because I don't want others to become as frustrated as I was while trying to learn Java. If there was a lower rating than 1 star, she would have gotten it here.

This is a great book to help you learn Java Programming. Unfortunately, it is part of a course system, so you cannot get the answers to the questions and exercises unless you are part of that course. This dramatically decreases the usefulness of this book. I wish I knew a way around this limitation.

First, let me say this was my first introduction to Java, and I was very disappointed. I have read Joyce Farrell's books before with like disappointment. Many typographical errors, and a teaching method beneficial to none, especially beginners. I'll try java again, with a different author.
