Review of
Java
For Everyone, by Cay Horstmann ISBN 9780471791911
Five out of five stars
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.
