Stay away from this book,
By "caliope8" (Pasadena, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Object-Oriented Programming in Java (Hardcover)
Too much junk and the way this book is organized makes it not easy to understand. I agree with a previous reviewer that this books it too wordy and boring.For a book on java, I'd recommend "Java in 21 days" and "Thinking in Java".

Wordy and Boring!,
By Chau Nguyen (Arcadia, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Object-Oriented Programming in Java (Hardcover)
I agree with one of the reviewers who wrote that the book is wordy and it does not worth over [money]. Only one-third of the book is educational, the rest is junk. The author wants to be funny and all that does is to make me irritated at all the jokes and the pizza and the elephant stories. If I want to learn how to do something, I'll look to the instructions in a manual, not some "comic book want-to-be". I would not recommend this book to anyone.

The BEST Book to Start JAVA,
By
This review is from: Object-Oriented Programming in Java (Hardcover)
I realized that readers form their personal opinion about a book based on how well it met their expectation. That is quite unfair to the book itself because it may never start out to meet everybody's needs. OOP in Java certainly did not set out to do that. It claims to be a book for those without any prior programming experience and teaches OOP from the ground up. If we solely rate this book based on what it promises, then it not only lives up to it, but far surpasses its claims. It teaches you Java programming not by dumping a lot of facts, figures and explanation but in using generous amount of examples. Before you see another keyword or concept, you would have already mastered the necessary ones to get you ahead. Unlike the other programming books, this goes down to your level (occasionally, it goes too low). But the BEST is that it follows the maxim that programmers are first human and second programmers. Thus teaching you programming not in a vacuum, but relating the whole learning experience to a simulated business company wishing to set up a store. Therefore, you'll not only understand how a concept is, but WHY it is being used in this manner. The only short-coming of this book is that it contains many "real-world" situation that you need to read through before being introduced to the programming, something which I find a little irritating. But if you are new to programming and want to get stated with Java. THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU.
