Great for beginners in java or programming
|
I'm a pupil still at school but hoping to do Computer Games Technology at university next year. In preperation for my course which will involve C++, i was recommended by a senior lecturer to learn Java. I've seen a few books and this one is my favorite.
Again, I am still at school and find this book good. I'm using my spare time to learn Java so if it wasn't a good book, I wouldn't bother learning from it. Anyways, it is clearly layed out with a lesson for each day (although the lessons are long and will probably require a few days to complete each).
It is true that the book has some minor coding error but if you understand the language being taught up to the point of the error, it is really easy to spot and correct when writing it yourself. This also aids your learning; by spotting and correcting mistakes!
I had never done any programming or any sort before and this book is really helping me get my first language done with ease. Thus; this book is for complete beginners to programming or just to java.
If your looking to learn java and want an up-to-date book (for Java 6) this is it. Don't bother looking anywhere else or get an older book not meant for learning the newer versions of Java; GET THIS ONE.
Top stuff indeed!

Java 6 (Teach YourSelf)
|
A very good and well written book. Covers all the basics and more advanced concepts of java programming. Unlike some books it shows fully coded working examples.
I would recommend this book to any students at university (like myself) or wanna be programmers.
