The best Java book I have read

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2001

Verified Purchase

The Core Java series was fantastic to pick up Java quickly. I don't know how well this book would do for a new programmer but having already been a C++/C programmer, this books allowed me to quickly get into Java. It didn't waste time with programming methods that are already known to an experianced programmer, just jumped right into the things that make Java what it is.

Good book for basics

This is a wonderful book for intermediate level programers.

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 1998

This book is a wonderful book for the programers who have a prior knowledge of programming. Initially it looks a bit tough but once you get hold of the book it becomes a smooth sailing. But in certain places it becomes really tough to understand the contents of the book. At that time reader feels like looking here and there for help. Overall this is a great book but could have been made more understandable.

How to learn Java from two books or less.

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 1998

To get the most out of this book, you need only one thing: Previous knowledge from an object-oriented language. Comparisons with C++ and Visual Basic are made throughout the book, so experience in these languages is helpful. The authors give you a full course in the Java-language and the basics of AWT and graphics programming. They are not afraid of telling their opinion, and the book is a great way of getting lots of good advice on style, approach and strategy. However, basic knowledge of data structures and patterns is required and the average to expert programmer don't have to skip many pages. (And then they actually tell you what pages to skip:-) What no of the other reviewers have said so far is that you could as well order volume II immediately. Volume I is so good you really feel the need for threads, streaming, networking et c. My advice on how to be a Java-expert: go for the two of them now!

a must-have for the serious programmer!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 1998

I am still reading this book, The only word that I can describe about this book is EXCELLENT, almost PERFECT. no toy example. very in-depth explanations about the java. Actually I really like the comment part with c++. I got experience about c++. The comment with c++ even make me think about something about c++. I got bunch of java books, All these books either are full of toy examples for dummies, or you can't understand what they are talking about. Cay & Gary really know java and c++. they touched the very deep down of java and c++. you get this book, you don't need others. and you save money. Sure, I am so eager to get the volume II. I am really interested in the JDBC and Java Bean part.

Excellent book to start learning Java

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 1998

This book is excellent for experienced programmers wishing to learn one of the booming languages of today. I read alot of books and this one is the perfect companion and one of the best computer books on my shelf. One note i like is the notes for C/C++ and Visual Basic programmers. This book is well worth its weight in gold.

A great source of Java info for programmers of any level.

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 1998

From the beginning Java programmer's point of view, this book is a great tool. It took me step by step through writing my first few applications and applets, then continued to serve well as a reference material for my later projects. Overall, it provides a great way to learn and continue using Java for both simple and advanced projects.

Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 1997

Core Java 1.1 is the best book on Java that I have read. The explanations have enough detail that the implications are clear. The authors are especially good at identifying both strong and weak points of Java. This is a book for hands-on Java programming and doesnot simply regurgitate Java syntax.
