4.0 out of 5 stars good solid book covering all the fundamentals, 23 Aug 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Java Software Solutions: Foundations of Program Design (Paperback)

This book offers the beginner/intermediate programmer a steady climb into the world of java. I found this book to contain excellent clear programming examples and the complexity is always introduced at a rate that should suit even the most timid beginner

3.0 out of 5 stars Medium, 6 April 2009

By	Ms. B. Devenyi "brigitta" (brigitta) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Java Software Solutions: Foundations of Program Design (Paperback)

There is everything all right with the delivery, very fast indeed and the quality was as described (new).
My only problem is that I think this book is pretty useless for those who want to know Java on a high level, since it doesn't have all the things Java really can do and although it's huge book there's a lot of unimportant parts as well, instead of having more details about the more important features of the language.
If you are a beginner, I can really suggest it though!! Cause it takes you through from the beginning step by step and also has GUI, which is quite nice...although again, it doesn't really say much about Swing for example, so you better go to Sun's homepage.
