FANTASTIC BOOK
Really well explained with tons of review exercises progressively throughout and at the end of each sub/chapter. It’s impossible not to fully absorb the information so that you’re confident writing algorithms in Java!
I feel very confident that with the help of this book to master the fundamentals I will progress on and eventually be able to do the career switch that I might have given up on had I not found the thorough teachings by this author.
The author is an excellent teacher!Source: amazon.co.uk

THE BEST JAVA BOOK TO START FROM ZERO – along with MURACH’S JAVA NETBEANS
The book is brilliant in every way – it’s a page – turner and it follows a natural path of true learning. It’s different from Murach’s Beggining Java with Netbeans – it actually complements it the best way possible. They both use Netbeans which is great for people who are just starting their JAVA experience. Bravo!Source: amazon.com
