5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent source for first time java programmer., February 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Java (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)

Chris Wright managed to put aside the complexity and time-consuming process for understanding java. This book is a great guide for those like me who has no clue what java is about. Step-by-step about how it should be made, quizzes that aren't designed to be hard.

I owe it to the author that I'm doing well in Java course at college.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great For Beginners, February 11, 2000

Ami (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Java (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)

Wright provides explanations on progamming basics such as loops statements, methods, class and objects. Gives simple to follow examples that can be implemented and expanded.

Easy to read and light in weight so you can read on the bus or subway. He even gives little assignments (with answers on the web) so that you can practice what you have learned in the book.

"You tell me and I forget, You show me and I remember, You involve me and I learn."

Which is what I have with this book ...

5.0 out of 5 stars What you need to get started with Java, not too complicated, September 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Java (Teach Yourself) (Paperback)

Top banana book, easy to follow, detailed where necessary but not too geeky. This book was the only way for me to understand what was going on in my Java for beginners course. If you are new to Java but know even a tiny amount of programming then this is the book for you.
