Format:Paperback
I bought this book after having difficulty with the Java module in my college course. I bought this, and the larger book, teach yourself Java in 21 days. I've now finished the 24hours book, and found it a fantastic help. Each chapter(hour) is well thought out, and adds a new string to your Java bow, if you'll excuse the cliché. The author is sarcastic but knowledgeable, and comes across as genuine, as opposed to many other programming books which treat the reader as an idiot.
Be warned though-you MUST do the practicals included, as well as the activities at the end of each chapter. Without these, nothing will sink in, and the practicals are so easily done, the hour target is very achievable. Don't expect to know every single piece of Java-but do expect to get an overall introduction, and a great start to this area of programming.

I have never programmed in any language before and found getting a book for an absolute beginner a nightmare. This book however is fantastic and easy to follow. Im only on lesson (Hour) 7 at the moment and loving every minute, Rogers Cadenhead has a great ability of teaching in plain english. I would say to anyone starting out in programming to purchase this book and learn JAVA, you will not regret it.

Everything you want in a self-instructional book: clear examples, easy to read and seperated into digestable chunks.
I've learnt some programming before, and am finding this book a complete lifesaver. I am being taught java at uni in a complete rush where they assume that i know basic syntax and commands which i didn't and am having to catch up.
If your aim is to be able to program independently i.e. off the top of your head to a decent level, this book will teach you effortlessly. It is divided into hour long lessons and the work is achievable within this time if you concentrate, although the activities at the end of each hour may take a little longer.
This book would be very useful for the complete programming beginner as well as anyone looking to consolidate their knowledge, or even those who have learned other languages.
A great starting point, and very user-friendly.
