Format:Paperback
This is a very likeable book, working its way from the basics to more difficult topics like threads and socket programming. Two things though. 1, I wish someone will tell the editors that review is spelt wrongly in the book contents pages, and 2. Could JDBC be included in subsequent editions. Otherwise I think it is vey good
Format:Paperback
I found this book brilliant. It is easy to understand with little jargon. The book teaches you by clear explanations, examples, questions and programs for you to work out and do. The book has all the answers to the questions and answers for all the programs. It is also possible to download all the examples and program answers from the Internet so you don't have to type them out and you can just compile and run them. I think this book is ideal for people with no Java of program experience. This book has really helped me. With this book you can learn and be writing your first program very quickly. The only problem with this book is that once you get into it, you will not want to put it down and you will live on your computer!

I've seen them all and O'Neil is the BEST
17 Oct 1999
Format:Paperback
This book deserves a much higher profile. People usually associate the Teach Yourself series with SAMS, but this is from OSBORNE so be careful and get this one. I browsed through about a dozen titles before finding this one, and can honestly say that it gives the clearest, most lucid and understandable instruction in the Java language of any tutorial out there. I also liked the fact that it covers the java.net package which is one of the primary reasons for using java in the first place. This isn't a huge book, it's just big enough with a complete index and you get more for $23.99 than books costing more. Full of thoughtful examples and useful quizzes with well-explained answers.
I was pleased to see the other very positive reviews on this and hope that Mr. O'Neil is working hard on the second edition, and possibly even an intermediate book on Java. This needs to be your choice if you are looking for a solid intro to Java.

This Book Taught Me Java Programming
30 May 2000
Format:Paperback
Before I read this book, I did not understand the basics of Object Oriented Programming. Reading "Teach Yourself Java" has given me that understanding, and it has made me feel that I have a solid foundation in Java. The strengths of this book are its no-nonsense, crisp explanations, its excellent examples, and its many interesting exercises. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is not already an expert programmer and wishes to learn Java.

Very good but ... some things you should know.
1 Aug 2000
Format:Paperback
First of all, this book is very well written. The examples are short and very concise. I personally learn by typing the examples and I like them to be short and to the point! This book is also very good from the aspect of not holding you back. It covers very basic control structures through sockets! I also like the fact that there are 394 examples you can download from the web easily. This is definately more ecological. Now some bad ... 1) The 394 examples that can be downloaded are not categorized! BUMMER. You must sift through all of them to figure out which ones apply to your current chapter, although some titles do make this easier. 2) If you are like me and constantly use the index to search for stuff ... you probably won't like this one. 3) Out of 707 pages, 170 of them are dedicated to answering end of chapter questions. That is 24% of the book! I don't consider this a plus. I would have preferred to download answers instead of downloading examples! SUMMERY: This book teaches programming in JAVA without getting bogged down in all the available pre-written web stuff ... although it does cover some web applications. It doesn't hold you back and doesn't assume that you already know a programming language. If you do know C++, you can navigate this book rather quickly and be up and running fast! I'm very happy with this book overall.
