A comprehensive Java guide, with samples, exercises, case studies, and step-by-step instruction

Beginning Java Programming: The Object Oriented Approach is a straightforward resource for getting started with one of the world's most enduringly popular programming languages. Based on classes taught by the authors, the book starts with the basics and gradually builds into more advanced concepts. The approach utilizes an integrated development environment that allows readers to immediately apply what they learn, and includes step-by-step instruction with plenty of sample programs. Each chapter contains exercises based on real-world business and educational scenarios, and the final chapter uses case studies to combine several concepts and put readers' new skills to the test.

Beginning Java Programming: The Object Oriented Approach provides both the information and the tools beginners need to develop Java skills, from the general concepts of object-oriented programming. Learn to:

Understand the Java language and object-oriented concept implementation
Use Java to access and manipulate external data
Make applications accessible to users with GUIs
Streamline workflow with object-oriented patterns

The book is geared for those who want to use Java in an applied environment while learning at the same time. Useful as either a course text or a stand-alone self-study program, Beginning Java Programming is a thorough, comprehensive guide.

A Must Have for Any New Java Developer!

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2016

This is one of the best introductory Java books I have ever read. I've been learning Java for a few months now and I have run in to a few sticking points. I easily picked up some of the basic concepts but, like many new programmers I imagine, as I got further in I found that I was stuck on a few concepts. This book is what got me unstuck. It explains code in a much more practical way than other Java books that I have read. It has many sections where it will have you try out a concept from the book, then it will break down each piece of the code and show you what each component of it is doing in the big picture. This approach really helped me to understand the components of Java that I was having a hard time understanding.

I have read a few other beginner Java books, you'll see Head First Java on every forum about the best beginner Java books, Head First Java is a great book, and I would recommend that as well as there are some fun projects in it, but this book is really the one that made things click for me.

I also want to point out that this book delves in to other technologies that people use along with Java such as, JDBC, SQLJ, Hibernate, SOAP, REST, etc. If you're a beginner in development reading this review and you've never heard of those technologies don't worry, this book gives you a great foundation of knowledge about them and helps you to understand what situations you may need them for.

Overall I would say this book is a must have for any new comer to Java. Feel free to comment on this review if you have any questions about my experience with this book.

Good for programmers new to Java

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2017

If you know how to program in other languages, but want to learn Java, this is a pretty good place to start.
Thing is, to really learn Java, you also need to learn a Java IDE.
In particular if you want to do it with Eclipse come here.
In theory you can compile Java without an IDE. In practice that would be rather tedious. Really, you are going to use Eclipse, Netbeans or IntelliJ Idea.
Eclipse is most widely used, Netbeans is used where it is used, IntelliJ is Eclipse with make-up and a subscription fee.
This is a good place to start if you are unsure between Eclipse and Netbeans.

If you are new to programming completely, go learn some C first.

Great book to learn java for new programmers

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2016

I am new at programming with java, and alhtough I have not finished reading , I found this book as the best material for learn java if you are new at java programming.I tried other materials but, I am really happy learning so far.
The only drawback is that some examples don't work as expected and you have to do some changes to be able to execute them.
When I finish the book I will try if I have time, to send the code as errata.

Apart from that, great, great book!
Hope the same authors write other books of Java for Web :) or web services using java-oracle technologies.

Its a bit dense, but in a good way. This book is helping me understand and thin about constructors methods etc. The only thing is that the mindset for programming, I'm guessing takes many years of experience and reading Java code. I still can't grasp simple coding problems from coding sites but at least I can read and interpret what is being compiled. I'm glad I bought this book.

Good introduction to Java programming. I come from a background of C and non-object oriented, and this book did a good job of helping me figure Java out and it's object-oriented way of programming.
