Updated for the newest version of Java (Java SE 6), this step-by-step guide will have you programming in Java right from the start. Herb begins by explaining why Java is the preeminent programming language of the Internet, how it relates to object-oriented programming (OOP), and the general form of a Java program. Then it's on to data types, operators, control statements, classes, objects, and methods. Next, you'll learn about inheritance, exception handling, the I/O system, and multithreading. More advanced topics such as generics, interfaces, applets, and enumerations are also covered. The book ends with an introduction to Swing, Java's powerful GUI toolkit. Start programming in Java today with help from this fast-paced, hands-on tutorial. |

This is a good hands-on guide for beginners to learn fundamentals of the latest version of Java SE 6. It is well presented and organized into modules which include data types and operators, program control statements, classes, objects and methods, packages and interfaces, using I/O, multithreaded programming, generics, applets and swing. I find the mastery checks at the end of each module quite useful for reviewing and testing of knowledge.

This is an amazing book. I retired from engineering research 16 years ago and have not done any programming since. Things have changed a lot! (all for the better). This book has an excellent teaching style, thorough and clear. It was my second book on Java, the first being Barry Burd's "Beginning Programming with Java for Dummies". That book is a good foundational start but it has not quite kept up with the rapid pace in the development of Java. Schildt's book is up to date (JDK 6 and Java SE 6) and makes a great reference work on the subject. I recommend it highly.

I read this book to get a good start with Java. It's an excellent book to pick up if you have little/no java background or if it's been a while. I used this to build my foundation then went through a certification book and passed the scjp 5.

Some computer books are nothing but dry text, and others are so full of intense graphics that your eyes burn. This book strikes an ideal balance between those extremes. The teaching style is engaging, and there's also plenty of reference material, making this a great book to start with and keep handy as you advance.
