Head First Java: A Brain-Friendly Guide, 2Nd Edition (Covers Java 5.0) Paperback – 1 January 2009

Book Quality Is Soo Good, Best Reasonable pricePacking And All Is Pretty good

started studying a day ago and loving it already.

The media could not be loaded. I have received my book today, I have not gone through the content but seems it will be an amazing experience with head first java

This is one of the most revolutionary book I have ever come across...It not just focuses on plain text reading but instead the writers have used animation and picturisation to make it easier for brain to understand.The first few pages doesn't teach Java it instead teaches about Metacognition (which is how brain processes information and perceives and remembers it.) In simple words you can say it teaches how to learn and when it comes to JAVA i bet wouldnt find a better book and series to start with.

This is an excellent book for a complete beginner to programming....and really wants to learn java.......The book is full of interesting images that keep you engaged in reading and I never felt bored while reading this book(The problem which I felt with some other books like "for the dummies series",which doesn't have a lot of pictures).Everything is written to the point and explanied completely with Q/Ans format so that the concepts can be clear and the person understands everything.Problems start when the book is read by a person who has some programming experience in C,C++ and python as there is a lot of spoonfeeding in the book and overly elaborated for a experienced person.But I still give it a full 5 out of 5 as it is clearly written as this is not a reference book but is a learning book for a complete beginner.....So it proves it by its content.I recommend it to anyone who wants to be good java programmer and it is a pretty good starting book for anybody.

Not so good looking when using it through kindle. Image of code is not clear.

If only I could this book more than 5 stars!This is the best book for anyone who wants to learn Java from scratch. The way all things have been explained and discussed, is just superb!Purchase this book without any second thoughts. You won't regret it.

Guys if you are from C background and don’t know C++ ie u don’t know what are objects n classes then first buy a c++ book ( this book won’t help ) Also even after learning C++ ( which i do ) still i find some problem’s in understanding the concepts 100% like this book won’t tell much about the syntax of creating a object step by step and other things like Arrays. They just appear on the text n are not well introduced ( the syntax )This Book is highly recommended for the people who know a little bit java, and reading this book will make their concepts very clear. But for beginners its difficult without the help of google !

Muy bien explicado y útil para aprender programación

Only downsides were in the final two chapters.Firstly the information is out of date, which was unavoidable but a reader should know that the example might not all work as described or be very relevant anymore.Secondly there was a lot of http and general web knowledge assumed all of a sudden, which was avoidable. I had to abandon those sections of the book.Apart from those complaints this is a great book; I’d recommend it to anyone!

Grandioso libro al principio me preocupe por haber malgastado mi dinero y que fuera otro libro sin completar que iba a tener en mi colección, pero una vez lo empecé me di cuenta de que era diferente con su lenguaje informal y en primera persona, juntando chistes con dibujos y actividades, además a mi me genera motivación ya que te hace sentir en cada momento que estas aprendiendo.La verdad recomiendo de verdad la compra esta genial si te gusta la programación tanto si te estas iniciando como si tienes una buena base para completar y repasar.

Ben fatto, pratico e di facile comprensione. Peccato solo che è un libro di ben 688 pagine, quindi non comodo da portare con sé

I think users will benefit from some basic coding experience before starting this book.The advantage of this book, is that each section builds on previous sections with no assumptions about what the reader already knows - beyond their initial capabilities.This book does not just present coding tools and methods, but the problems which they are intended to solve.The problem or dilema is shown first, then the solution within Java and the Java environment, followed by tests and exercises.I believe one should work through each excercise to reap the real benefits of this book.The book uses informal language and even some cartoons, but far for being distracting these really do reinforce learning, at least for those where images are retained in the memory.
