Designed for beginning programming students, this book will motivate and excite while teaching fundamental programming concepts. Based on years of classroom testing, Java From Problem Analysis to Program Design, Third Edition approaches programming with a focus on clear explanations and practice, two critical factors in mastering the Java language. Straightforward language is used to explain the reasoning behind each new concept, and numerous examples and exercises allow readers to practice solving problems and writing code. This new edition is fully compliant with Java 6.0, and includes updated programming exercises and programs.
I really like this textbook. It's informative and worth keeping as reference in the future. It's not light reading but if you are willing it is worth the mental exhaustion.
Another quarter. Another opportunity to yet again be completely confused by a programming text.
Ok finished this text and OMG compared to everything else out there in the object oriented programming category, it is so awesome! I did not send this book back.
The reading was incredibly dry and boring. I actually found myself falling asleep. However, it was informative and helped me have a better understanding of Java. Unfortunately, I had to look into alternatives to the book (youtube videos & apps mostly) because I simply couldn't read it for any real stretch of time.
I used this book to know JAVA since I didn't take it yet.. It was some how useful but I was looking for specific points in JAVA... I liked this programming language .. It's so friendly , interesting and easier than any other ones.
I felt Java for dummies was better in the way of teaching an imbecile some basic through advanced Java skills. This book was an advanced book trying to teach a novice how to code. It was effective when used in conjunction with other resources.
