Reviews / Votes
From the book reviews:
"This book . really hits the mark for a basic introduction to Java programming. . This reviewer was very impressed with the organization of the topics and the incremental way that the presented concepts build upon each other. This is a very good resource for beginning Java programmers, and those who know any other programming language will find it a breeze to read. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates, two-year technical program students, professionals/practitioners, and general readers." (F. H. Wild III, Choice, Vol. 52 (3), November, 2014)More details
