Product Description
Product Description
Visual QuickStart Guides are rapidly becoming the easiest, clearest and most sought-after titles for learning complex new Internet technologies. Even a quick glance at web design sites for the non-programmer (like C|net's Content Builder) shows that designers, graphic artists and content-creators want to use Java. The web is filled with content creators who have used a pre-built Java app., and probably not been 100% satisfied with the results.
With just enough Java to get going doing something useful, a strict focus on visual Java (meaning using Java to make interface elements for web pages), and a quality guarantee that the Java in this book will work in most - if not all - web browsers, Java for the World Wide Web:Visual QuickStart Guide is sure to be an indispensable guide to the decade's most important new programming language for the web scripter.

You will not become java wizard, but you will have a foothold required for more advanced and detailed tutorials such as Sun's. I took away one star because of somewhat outdated version of Java it covers. Still, with complementary www site, great little package.

Makes Java Fun and Easy.
The book is very simple to read with a lot of screen shots and photos. While being simple to read by the end of it you are making complicated and very impressive Java applets.
I highly recommend it for the absolute beginner or a programmer who is new to Java.
Best of luck with it,
Dave

This is a great whirlwind introduction to Java. But it's only a whirlwind...
Smith is a great writer, with good humour and very light, easy style. Given a couple of hundred pages instead of this short tome and Smith would have a winning book.
Unfortunately, because you're rushing through Java, Smith doesn't really tell you why you're doing things, or how to work with Java in general. The examples are clear, and each one builds on the last, but you never really end up understanding enough to branch out on your own.
You will have to buy another book if you want to learn anything that's not in one of the examples in Smith's book. That said, it's cheap enough and small enough, so it's not a complete waste of time. I suppose it's just the style of these quick start books.
If you program lots already, aviod it. This is a beginners book. Not even intermediate. But you will begin to grasp Java in hours!

Java for the world wide web was a good book.
Java for the world wide web thought me the basics of Java programming. But, the book doesn't really tell you where to get a Java compiler. Read more

If all computer books were as clear...
This book is definately a must have. If all computer bookds were as clear and easy to understand we wouldn't need systems analyst, programmers and web designers. Read more

Beware: Java 1.0
It is with sadness that I give this book 1 star. But this book only covers Java 1.0.

Excellent "Get Started" Guide
This book does a great job for the first time Java programmer. It's easy to read, Smith has a sense of humor, and she's squeezed in about as much detail as possible while still... Read more

Excellent Book for Starters
