5.0 out of 5 stars Starting from ground level, this should be your first choice, November 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Java Programming Language Handbook: The Ultimate Source for Conquering the Java Programming Language (Paperback)

I can't tell you how many books on Java assume you are migrating from C. I appreciate a book that takes you from the ground level and delivers steps in very easily to grasp portions. If you are just beginning - there is NO substitute!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Comprehensive Source of Java Basics, November 27, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Java Programming Language Handbook: The Ultimate Source for Conquering the Java Programming Language (Paperback)

This book has covered all the basics of Java 1.0, with good examples to illustrate the concepts.

Suitable for professional with pre-concepts of OO.

The writing is just to the point for a professional beginner. But it must be updated to include the coming release of JDK 1.2, especially about the Java UI and Security which have got substantial enhancements.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Source For Beginning Java Programmers, June 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Java Programming Language Handbook: The Ultimate Source for Conquering the Java Programming Language (Paperback)

Having read 7 or 8 books in an attempt to learn Java from scratch, I found this book to be a godsend. So many other "Intro To Java" books are written for people who have a background in C or C++ and so they throw around nomenclature from C's object-oriented environment that the new user gets lost. Not this book. EVERYTHING about Java is covered from the beginning, nothing is assumed, and nothing gets lost. I strongly recommend this book over the other Java books I bought and ultimately regretted buying.
