Great! by R. Jenkins (UK)  4 Stars
November 23, 2009
Definitely worth the money.
This has, and will continue to be, an invaluable resource for me when coding in Java. I'll most likely end up owing my degree to this book!

A decent read, but don't expect to be programming anything real after this book by Michael Spitzer (New York City)  2 Stars
July 06, 2009
I got this book because of the good reviews, but I promptly returned it and got Head First Java, which is much more comprehensive. I got over the usual "for dummies" annoyances like the constant joking and the constant referrals to other chapters. What I couldn't get over was that this book did not go far enough. I know that it is for beginners, but this book really doesn't teach you very much at all. If it was to be a real beginner's book, maybe the author should have spent more time discussing HOW the code works and much less on the actual Java language. There also should be exercises to do on your own, and there aren't any at all. That would have offered the most value for beginner programmers.
In short, if you just want to read about programming, get this book. If you actually want to do some of it, this book isn't for you.

Beginning... with Java is for Java 5 =and= Well done by S. Greenlaw (NYC) 4 Stars
December 29, 2008
Java 6 has been out for years. If you want the lastest and greatest, get an updated version. Java 5 programs are still out there to be maintained. And learning with Java 5 ain't gonna hurt anybody. *** These "Dummy" books are wonderfully editted. Excellent quality for beginners. *** They also have an advanced book, but then the "Head First" series and real text books and the Sun microsystems online materials are much better. *** For your first programming book, perfect.

What I expected.... by P. BELL (Maryland, USA)  3 Stars
October 25, 2008
I wish the textbook had more sample codes. It does a decent job of going over the basics of programming. Between this book and my textbook its making my intro to programming class better.

Great beginners book by Samuel Weiss (Brooklyn, NY)  5 Stars
August 28, 2008
This is a great book for someone just starting out with programing, and wants to learn a quick introductory course in java. It will teach you the fundamentals in a way that even the newist beginner can understand.
