Product Description

Product Description
As the worldwide best seller for introductory programming using the Java™ programming language, Java Software Solutions is the premiere model of text that teaches a foundation of programming techniques to foster well-designed object-oriented software. Heralded for its integration of small and large realistic examples, the authors’ emphasize building solid problem-solving and design skills.

The Sixth Edition introduces improvements that make the text a better teaching and learning tool. Revolutionary Video Notes featuring author John Lewis work in conjunction with the text to visually explain challenging topics and in-text Programming Projects. New vignettes explaining real-world software failures emphasize why good design is important, and novel section-level exercises let students check their comprehension before moving on.

4.0 out of 5 stars good solid book covering all the fundamentals, 23 Aug 2000
By A Customer
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)   
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.
