Product Description:
This book teaches how to develop Java applications at the professional level. It starts by showing how to code, test, and debug everyday business applications that won t crash. It presents object-oriented features like classes, inheritance, interfaces, and polymorphism in a way that s both understandable and useful in the real world...perspective that s often missing in Java training. It presents essential Java skills such as working with data types, control statements, arrays, collections, generics, enumerations, exceptions, threads, Swing components, applets, and text and binary files. It covers new Java SE 6 features such as new JDBC features, the StAX XML API, and the built-in Derby database. And it s all done in the distinctive Murach style that has been training professional programmers for more than 30 years.

This book has been invaluable for me in coming up to speed in Java and using NetBeans IDE. It helped me significantly in deciding between NetBeans and Eclipse for the IDE I would use in my development. I recommend it highly.

I haven't gotten through the entire book as yet. I'm on page 300 or so. What I've read so far has been quite good, and I've picked up several new things about Java. The only negative thing I would say about this book is that once or twice, there have been ideas presented where the author (in my opinion) assumed more Java or OO knowledge than a beginner might have. But, thanks to some other Java resources I have (co-workers), these problems were quickly overcome.
Overall, a great book for beginners.

Easy to read and understand. Downloading the lessons for and using the IDE's could use a little bit more coverage.

What a weird book. I don't program Java, have never been but I've got quite a few years of C++ and C# under my belt. We needed to use some Java-only open source libraries for a project at work, so I figured having a Java reference book would be handy: after all, it can't be 100% identical to C# as they say, right?
Well, this book couldn't fulfill even this modest role: it covers very little, but wastes nearly 6 pounds of dead trees to do it. It takes two pages to explain how to assign a number to a variable. The author uses Windows (!) as a platform of choice and the word "DOS" pops up many times, over and over. It even contains section that teaches you how to use DOS commands like "dir", "copy" and "cd". I am not kidding or exaggerating.
I would understand if it was marketed to teenagers who want to start programming in something, but a book of such shocking size and wall penetrating power can't be possibly aimed at that audience: if someone needs 2 pages explaining ... Read More
