Herbert Shildt Is a Coding Advent

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

When Herbert writes the messages just click in my mind. His writings are akin to a notation specification,
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 Definitive JAVA Reference

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 8, 2022

Verified Purchase

A comprehensive description of the JAVA language tracing the evolution of the language from inception through JDK 17.

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.

Since Java 17 is the second LTS version, learning it will go a long way(comparatively) and a must read for someone who wants to learn Java. Java 17 newer features and topis are discussed in detail.
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

Me encanta

Reviewed in Spain 🇪🇸 on May 30, 2022

Verified Purchase

Soy estudiante de programación, actualmente terminé la FP de DAW y el año que viene sigo en DAM, el libro es una maravilla, estoy asentando un montón de conceptos que tenía un poco en el aire, otros que no tenía ni idea ni sabía que existían, y otros para prepararme para el año que viene.
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.
