Rating: - Well-organized
I absolutely adored this one. The organization was amazing, the book advanced to each new level in tiny baby steps with the option of a full-blown tutorial in which every step is thoroughly explained and illustrated, many exercises, charts, etc. Highly recommended.
Rating: - Not for serious programmers
This is a text book such as a high school or junior college might use to support a Java class. There are lots of excercises, the programs come quickly. But the book does a poor job of teaching the basic precepts of Java.
Rating: - Wonderful introduction to java programming
I have been a mainframe developer for 16 years and very resistant to switch to objected oriented programming. Let me tell you something: "Simply Java Programming" has changed my attitude. For the first time, I finished a compuer book from cover to cover and enjoyed every bit of it!!! I've recommended the book to my colleagues and one of them just purchased the same book yesterday.
What I like most about this book is the practical / tutorial approach which got me interested in ... Read More
Rating: - From a programming student with too much time
A wonderfully helpful book. Some of the directions don't work, such as copying key files to hard disk, unless you ignore the autoplay features on the disk. A few of the graphics are confusing as well as directions being a little too vauge. In spite of that, there is enough clear, concise information to let a person of average intelligence work their way throuigh the lessons and learn Java, with or without formal instrution.
Rating: - a fantastic computer programming book
As a compulsive computer programming autodidact, I rate *Simply Java* the best computer language book I have ever read. Java is a hard language to learn. Most books get you bogged down in abstract exercises. *Simply Java* gets you writing practical GUI applications almost immediately. It's worth every penny. I'm going to stop writing this review right now and study another chapter.
