Java™ Programming: Guided Learning with Early Objects

by D.S. Malik, Robert P. Burton

This innovative new text, intended for the beginning programmer, introduces objects early but gently and includes a variety of examples and exercises intended to support each new concept. With a clear emphasis on self-study and the student learning experience, Malik and Burton employ a straightforward writing style that parallels the learning method of the contemporary CS1 student. Before a key topic is introduced, the student learns why the concept is important, and then sees examples. Java Programming: Guided Programming with Early Objects is an invaluable resource for all students, both in and out of the classroom.

Best textbook I've used in years

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.
