"Java Programing-the easy way."

For the price this book is great! Some aspects of the book are beyond a beginning java programmer's range but fundamentally it is an excellent examination of Java for anyone who is taking a college course in programming. -LG

Excellent Beginner's Book

This book is a great choice for someone who doesn't have any education on programming at all.It begins by covering very basic concepts of Java/object-oriented programming well and then extends into several different aspects of the Java language to show how to create simple programs that use text/fonts, various GUI/windows, file storage/retrieval, audio and graphics capabilities. The original included CD is out of date now (2003), but none of it is required to use the book examples and the current JDK is available for free on the web anyway.There are very few Java books that a total beginner can pick up and learn from; this is one of them.

just amazing book

I am taking computer science at university. Because it was my first time to program in Java, it was very hard to understand the subject and was very confusing. The textbook didnt help me either because it was written very hard. After I read this book, everything became so clear and I got so muvch confident in programing in java. I really think this book can help someone who doesn't have background in computer programing.

Very good introductory book

This book is very good for beginners: it is short (300 pages or so), inexpensive, and goes through all the basics of the Java language.

Easy to Read

This is a good introduction book for persons without anycomputer programming experience. Professor Downing has done a goodjob to explain all the major concept of programming using java. This book provides a CD that includes the Java Development Kit 1.2 from Sun Microsystems, sample Java programs and code generator tools. The price of this book is quite inexpensive compared to other Java books. Anyone, who does not know programming, and wishes to experience Java programming should own a copy.
