Reviews for Introduction to Java Programming, Comprehensive Version: International Version

1. Great place to start learning java

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, February 12nd, 2010

   I am very content with my copy of "introduction to java". I particularly like the examples that clearly illustrate topics covered. I also really appreciate the many exercises at the end of every chapter.
   
   The progressions start with introducing the java language. Then it moves into OOP with java. I have programmed ActionScript for some years and I can fairly easily step right into the OOP chapters. Occassionally I have to refer back to previous chapters to look up some area where java deviates from the ActionScript I already know. There is a comprehensive index that helps me quickly locate what I am looking for.
   
   Best regards

2. Really good book for starters

   Rated 5 out of 5 stars, February 12th, 2010

   A very good book to learn Java from the beginning. It contains a lot of exercises and examples which help the understatement and consolidate the learned. I wouldn't recommend this book to everybody who wants to learn java. Everything is so easy and clear explained that there is no programming experience needed.
