Book Description

ISBN-10: 1575213915 | ISBN-13: 978-1575213910 | Publication Date: July 1998

Teach Yourself Java in 24 Hours is a step-by-step tutorial broken up into 24 short, easy one-hour chapters. It starts out at a lower level than Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days, and takes things at a slower pace, focusing on key programming concepts and essential Java basics. Although the basic structure of the book, and many of its examples, will remain the same in this new edition, the author will make use of dozens of reader comments to make improvements to explanatory text and example programs. Additionally, fresh material will cover new components of Java 1.2, including Java Foundation Classes, Java2D classes for two-dimensional image manipulation, and JavaBeans a feature of Java 1.1 that has become a key part of Java programming.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for beginners to lay a solid base in JAVA., November 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Teach Yourself Java 1.2 in 24 Hours (Paperback)

This is the third book on Java that I have attempted to read, and it was the first one that did not leave me completely confused. The book starts out real basic(almost two basic for anyone that is already familar with programming) and then it begins to add on each chapter. The author does a great job explaining everything, including the highlight of the book "Objects"! The author does his best work explaining objects and how to crate and use them. After finishing the book I was more than ready to move on to more advance coding. I feel very comforable with the base knowledge of JAVA that I now have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funniest programming book I've come across, October 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Teach Yourself Java 1.2 in 24 Hours (Paperback)

I wasn't looking for an entertaining book about Java programming--just one that taught the language. I got both. Very funny and very informative...I enjoyed it thoroughly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad for beginners, but skips detailed explanations.
The one thing missing is an explanation of why code lines do the things they do. How about explaining Constructors and Main methods.....?

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Starter Book
I think this is a good start for anyone who is new to programming. It does assume a few things about debugging programs but overall I would recommend it.
