Product Description Completely revised and updated to cover the new features in the 1.2 release of Java, this book is a comprehensive look at learning how to program in Java. The book covers all facets of the Java language, including object-orientation, multithreading, exception-handling, the new event model, the graphics capabilities of the new Abstract Windows Toolkit, and the new APIs. | ||
Amazon.com Review Dedicated to the principle that more is more, the massive Java: How to Program, Third Edition, may just be the most comprehensive available textbook for Java. Suitable for both students and home study, this book offers an extremely thorough introduction to Java programming, including all major APIs. The sheer size (and level of detail) presented here is undoubtedly its most impressive feature. Weighing in at over 1,300 pages, it features an almost endless trove of information with over 500 programming tips, over 1,000 summary points, over 900 programming exercises, and a whopping 5,000-plus entries in its index. This is clearly a textbook and reference for students who want to master the entire Java language. The authors present many challenging exercises and examples too, including numerous interesting graphics problems, a simulation for a simple CPU, a compiler (for the same), and an elevator simulation case study. (In all, there is certainly sufficient material in this book for two semesters of college work.) Besides a full tour of all the fundamentals of Java, from basic statements to object-oriented design techniques, the authors also delve into more advanced APIs for servlets, JDBC, RMI, and JavaBeans. (Their guide to Swing components is also a standout here.) While the richness of Java: How-To Program might intimidate some readers, for those who want to experience all the possibilities of Java, this book is a fine choice for a first textbook on introductory programming in Java. Its authoritative and far-ranging presentation can serve as a reliable and effective guide to the truly exciting world of Java development. --Richard Dragan Topics covered: Basic Java, applets and applications, control structures, methods, arrays, object-oriented programming techniques, strings, graphics and Java2D, Swing user interfaces, exceptions, multithreading, multimedia, file I/O, JDBC and databases, servlets, RMI, networking, sockets, custom data structures and collections, and JavaBeans. | ||

An Authority in Java Programming Well organized and a very good value for money if you as a beginner or a intermediate programmer would really want to dig into Java, I would recommend this book.. I have been looking for a while for books with emphasis on topics like RMI,Multithreading,JMF and JDBC and i must say the coverage of this book simply blows me away.. With over 1,300 in pages of step by step information with emphasis on every written line on the code(and I mean every line!!)..The coverage of extended classes and the Abstract Windowing Toolkit classes is phenomenal..I particularly liked the Multitier Applications Using JDBC from a servlet. Mind you people that this book is robust and precise since the only problem i encountered was in the update functionality and the serializatin in the transaction processing of the File and Streams Example but the deitel website provides the errata correction for that so no problem di ba? ..Im a big fan of the deitel's and i must say I thank world the Deitel's exist..Java rules...Mga Amaw gwapo ko!!!! | ||
Heavy book, but not much to learn from. This book is unbelievably heavy but very shallow. (I feel sorry for the trees!) At first I thought it's not that bad, so I brought it to my office for reference. Every time I needed to look up something, I dug thru over 1000 pages and found nothing. After that, I never laid my fingers on this book again. It's been sitting collecting dust on my shelf for over 2 years. I want to sell it, but man, lots of people are selling it for under 2 bucks. I spent over ... and didn't get anything in return. Believe it or not, it's so heavy that you wouldn't want to carry arround. In the final analysis, you can carry a brick in your backbag and it would have the same effect. It's not worth your money! | ||
In-depth approach to Java A good book. Rich on the content and clear on the subject. It is a very good book for the Java serious beginners. Many topics that were not clear to me before reading this excellent book; now it is very well understood. The author has taken so much time and effort to spoon feed us which not many have that patience today. | ||
Overpriced, Confusing and Worthless... Ouch! I *HAD* to purchase this book as it was used as a textbook for the introductory Java course that I took in college. Luckily, the professor supplied us with decent in-class notes, because studying from this text was a nightmare. The OOP concepts and language features are explained poorly and only confuse the reader. Code examples are also poor. It's hard to find something useful in the book if you want to use it as a reference when building your own applications. And finally, you can buy at least 2 excellent java books for this price. Try Sun's "Core Java" series or Herbert Schildt's titles, they are better written and are a lot more useful. | ||
Java How to Program (3rd Edition) A great book! Plenty of coding examples and enough information to help you understand what it's all about. Great to teach from. I would recommend this book to a seasoned programmer or to someone who is just learning the language. | ||
