There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
in their quantum detail, yet I am able to comprehend, usually without difficulty. I have yet to come across a title of his that didn't teach me much. He puts things in full detail but in a concise manner. His books feel
complete whereas other authors' may be very good and detailed but some have limited scope, even though they may teach well also. He will definitely teach you the syntax, there's no question in my mind. You'll finish his books with a very in depth understanding of the toolset taught.
A negative concern with this and most of the other code books I've ever tried is that the authors usually don't include the negative aspects of a specific tool.
The writing is clear and concise. Example code is well crafted. By far, the best book on a programming language I have ever had the privilege of reading.....and I've read quite a few over the course of my career starting with BASIC, FORTRAN, PL1, C, C++, etc.
If you wish to master contemporary JAVA....this is the book you need.
This book, paired with Selikoff's OCP Study Guide, makes a great prep materials for the latest Oracle certification for Java developers
Beware: EXTREMELY THICK
Nonetheless all pages where intact.
Warning, very thick and heavy but very useful to keep around in your workplace or office.
Has pretty much everything covered.

I am happy that I got the genuine copy of the book. Pages are silky smooth and are of good quality.
The book is pricey though... 4200 INR is too much.
Overall I am very happy with the purchase

Si tenéis conocimientos medios de inglés como yo es fácil de leer, al principio le cuesta un poco al cerebro pero poco a poco se va acostumbrando y cada vez hay menos palabras que no conoces (si las vas buscando claro :D) .
El autor lo explica todo bastante fácil , o al menos desde mi perspectiva que ya me manejo con Java,
no puedo asegurar que sea tan sencillo para los que no saben nada.
El libro llego con un golpecito en una de sus esquinas pero nada del otro mundo tampoco.
