About this product

Product Information

Learning a complex new language is no easy task especially when it s an object-oriented computer programming language like Java. You might think the problem is your brain. It seems to have a mind of its own, a mind that doesn't always want to take in the dry, technical stuff you're forced to study. The fact is your brain craves novelty. It's constantly searching, scanning, waiting for something unusual to happen. After all, that's the way it was built to help you stay alive. It takes all the routine, ordinary, dull stuff and filters it to the background so it won't interfere with your brain's real work--recording things that matter. How does your brain know what matters? It's like the creators of the Head First approach say, suppose you're out for a hike and a tiger jumps in front of you, what happens in your brain? Neurons fire. Emotions crank up. Chemicals surge. That's how your brain knows.And that's how your brain will learn Java. Head First Java combines puzzles, strong visuals, mysteries, and soul-searching interviews with famous Java objects to engage you in many different ways. It's fast, it's fun, and it's effective. And, despite its playful appearance, Head First Java is serious stuff: a complete introduction to object-oriented programming and Java. You'll learn everything from the fundamentals to advanced topics, including threads, network sockets, and distributed programming with RMI. And the new. second edition focuses on Java 5.0, the latest version of the Java language and development platform. Because Java 5.0 is a major update to the platform, with deep, code-level changes, even more careful study and implementation is required. So learning the Head First way is more important than ever. If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect--a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. If you haven't, you're in for a treat. You'll see why people say it's unlike any other Java book you've ever read.By exploiting how your brain works, Head First Java compresses the time it takes to learn and retain--complex information. Its unique approach not only shows you what you need to know about Java syntax, it teaches you to think like a Java programmer. If you want to be bored, buy some other book. But if you want to understand Java, this book's for you.

    OOP made easy!

    This book is good for people who have previous coding experience but haven't learned Java yet. The authors make the content easy to comprehend and the exercises and puzzles will keep you engaged in the reading. Great for beginners!

    Excellent beginners guide to java.

    I found this book ideal for adding more tools for my java learning experience. Truly a book for a novice, rather for "dummies" which makes it an essential tool to refer to when one forgets certain java principles. I am still interested in an additional book that supplements and further breaks it down to teach step by step how to write java code. In contrast to beginners java books from Malik for instance, this book offers a much clearer teaching method that does not jump too deep into java and leaving the learner disoriented and losing interest; the graphics enhance the learning experience. I do recommend it for complete beginners.

    Good Name

    The book is written in an easy to read style. The java language is complex but if you follow the book carefully---read it through before you try to write any code. I strongly recommend you get NetBeans or any other program to help you get started. Loading the java files into your computer never works as easy as the book says. Netbeans allows you to bypass that downloading stuff and get right to coding.
