This is the best book about Java Application

I have this book both in Chinese & English Version. I learned Java from this book. It is so simple to follow the basic idea of Java using the example from the book. Clayton Walnum is expert in writing book.I love this book.

Wonderful book

I took a programming class in the late 1970s, but never programmed anything outside the classroom. In '97, after being system administrator for 7 years, my employer asked me to take over the administration of our web site. So I picked up 4 different books on JAVA. After reading through 3 of the books, I felt either they were too advanced for my grasp or weren't well written. JAVA By Example took me through the basics in a very short time. After reading this book, I later went through the other 3 books a second time and determined that they were poorly written. Great Job, Clayton Walnum.

Great For *Beginners*

After attepting to grasp Java with two other books I was close to giving up. Then I found this book! It gives the best intro to Object Orientated Programming I have seen yet. I don't know if this book has been updated for the new Java SDK but when I read it, it was VERY good.

Great book for beginners!!

Java was (believe it or not) the FIRST programming language that I attempted to learn. After buying several books that basically relied on the reader having a C/C++ background, I found this book. The absolute best thing about this book is that after each progamming example, a line-by-line explanation of how the program works is given. This to me was the core reason I learned Java. I have found no other book that takes the beginner step-by-step in this same manner. Once you finish this book you will easily move on to more complex Java topics because you will have gained a thorough understanding of the language.

This book helped me a lot.

'Java by Example' presents meaningful and useful examples that clearly illustrate writing simple Java applets. It is a very good beginner's book that will prepare you to move on to more advanced theory.
