Reviews From AMAZON.COM

Right Idea, Perhaps Not Taken Far Enough

The idea of lots of examples and some solved problems is an excellent way of learning anything. However, to really teach well a book should have a strong logical underpinning and lots of solved problems to initiate a very gradual and fundamental understanding of the subject. I did not think that this book took that extra step. Consequently, I would recommend it as one of the books you buy to learn Java, but do not rely on it for your full Java education.

This is the best book about Java Application

I have this book both in Chinese & English Version. I learned Java from this book. It is so simple to follow the basic idea of Java using the example from the book. Clayton Walnum is expert in writing book.

I love this book.
