Synopsis
In this work, the author introduces the basics of objects as Java uses them. He then goes through the fundamental concepts underlying all Java programming, including program flow, initialization and clean-up, hiding implementations, reusing classes and polymorphism. Using examples, he introcuces error-handling, exceptions, Java I/O, run-time type identification, and passing and returing objects. He covers the Java AWT, multithreading, and network programming with Java., Thinking in Java is a "brash, arrogant, opinionated, independent, knowledgeable, interesting, readable book on Java." Eckel uses superb analogies between software concepts and everyday things to deliver a book ideal for teaching. It is unique because it was made available by Eckel on the Internet and so has been tested by thousands of users. Many of these people are waiting for the book to arrive.

    Great price for this huge book. Shipping was delayed but not too unreasonable though the book could have been packed a bit better with some bubble wrap as it tore through the very thin mailer envelope. Would recommend seller to cushion heavy books better when using thin mailer envelopes to avoid the tearing and potentially loosing books. Book is as described! Satisfied with my purchase and would buy from again if packaging was more sturdy. Thank you :)

    As described ,nice price, quickly shipped but not in a padded envelope, nor with a cardboard padding inside a regular envelope, so corners of book were free to be bumped in transit. They were not. The book looked good even with a tear at one corner of the envelope. Both the seller and the buyer were lucky.

    High quality book arrived in good condition as described. The book's appearance is satisfactory. A great value! Shipping: Seller shipped promptly. But I received an eBay message saying: USPS made a delivery attempt but were unable to proceed due to an insufficient address. Huh? Also, shipping history said book was "Held at Post Office At Customer Request." I didn't request this to be done! Next day I went to my USPS office. They fished around & found package. My address was correct. Weird.
