Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Dedicated to the principle that more is more, the massive Java: How-To Program, 3rd 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 many 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 terms 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 well 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, amazon.co.uk
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.

Format:Paperback
Java: How to Program V 1.2 is a brilliant book on Java programming that gives the beginner a grounding in all the fundamentals. This books also stretches further than most beginners' books with content on RMI, Servlets etc.
This book is possibly a bit bloated for the likes of a moderate C++ programmer who is moving over to Java, and already knows the fundamentals of OO Programming.
Deitel and Deitel are working on a second book to follow on from this one. It will cover the more advanced topics which some people will be more interested in.

Format:Paperback
Having been thoroughly confused by a self study Java course published by W*** Technologies, I have now turned to the start of Deitel and Deitel, which is brilliant if over-detailed. Every line of every example is discussed and analysed in detail, and there are (very very) comprehensive tests and assessments, as well as properly structured projects and student assignments.
Use of Java in real-world programming situations is integrated throughout the text and it seems to me that if I can get through this book I will be justifiably confident of my Java abilities.
It is not for total beginners, and perhaps only the background provided by my previous mentor has enabled me to get the best of this book, but having said that, a modest amount of background reading shold ensure that even novices can follow clearly from the start.

Format:Paperback
In my experience of general purpose Java books I rate Deitel and Deitel's book very highly. It covers many areas of the Java JDK. It gives good examples to highlight what can be achieved. The text doesn't over burden with all the details of different areas of the language but rather gives you enough to get up and running with lots of differnt things from Servlets, JDBC, Graphics, GUI's, Networking, Threads......the list is endless. It even starts from a low level so beginners should find this book an essential purchase especially if they want to see what can be achieved.
Well Sorted Book.
