The Swing and Applet material from the previous edition is available online. As with all text in Gaddis' Starting Out series, the tone is friendly, the material detailed, and major concepts easy to understand.

Three semesters of this book will alter your brain! Gaddis and Dr. Muganda, the brother who is important beyond what's evident in their subsequent titles, have created a cookbook for Java. If this doesn't teach you anything, you're not going to learn it. The professor used it for part 1 and part 2. The problem is - I failed part 1, so had to take it twice! But I bet you what - I know this shxxx now!

solid examples and explanations, not much fuss at all.

This was course material for Programming Java, via University of Dalarna, Sweden.

Read the first half for a comp sci 101 course this summer. It really is a great textbook, not much else to say. Web delivery through VitalSource is the new gold standard.

This is a really brilliantly constructed textbook. Super easy to follow and full of great examples, review questions and reminders. A glossary of terms would have been nice.

The book was a good read and helped me learn what I needed to know as far java is concerned. I would recommend this book to a friend.
