Java For Everyone

by Cay S. Horstmann

Programmers, computer scientists, and engineers need a book that delivers the essentials of how to program using Java in a more accessible, less rigorous approach. Java for Everyone provides them with a more user-friendly, graphics-intensive design that conveys complex concepts simply and effectively. It differs from other books in the market by focusing on topics such as loops and graphical interfaces, while avoiding a focus on object-orientation. The emphasis is placed on simple programs that use pre-built data structures and algorithms whenever possible. The examples and case studies explore practical applications that programmers, computer scientists, and engineers will find useful, such as processing tabular data, harvesting Web information, creating custom graphics, and building simple user interfaces.

One of the better programming books I've read. It has excellent examples, exercises, and random information. I'd recommend for anyone just starting in Java.

If you have no previous programming experience and feel blank everytime you open the IDE even a simple program... this one book resolves all that. You will become a confident coder... Thats my story! Great book overall and extremely reader friendly.

If your interest is in learning or teaching the very basics of programming and would like to do that using the Java programming language, this book is ideal for you. The content is that of a basic course in programming using a mainstream language. A large number of review questions and programming exercises are included and experienced teachers will see a lot that is familiar. The level is appropriate for the beginner that is learning on their own.
The coverage of the basics is thorough, albeit light in nearly all cases. It begins with the basic data types and operators and moves through inheritance, interfaces, collections. maps and the fundamental operations of creating a GUI. For superficial coverage, this is one of the best, but if you want depth, then you must look elsewhere.
