Java 2 by Example, Second Edition gives novice programmers in-depth coverage of both object-oriented programming and Java fundamentals. It starts with an overview of Java, including a survey of development tools beginners should use. The book explains the basics of the Java language, including operators, expressions, statements and more; and Object-Oriented Programming with classes and objects, inheritance, and dynamic methods. The author includes a chapter applying the concepts of OOP to object-oriented analysis and design methods. Later chapters demonstrate organizing data in collections and utilizing Java's built-in mathematical functions. Along the way, readers learn from hundreds of examples explaining every concept. Plus, each chapter ends with a series of review questions to ensure that readers are caught up - with answers provided in an appendix.

An example, too, of how to write a 'teaching book'..., By Ricardo I. Santiago (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Java 2 by Example (Hayden/Que) (Paperback)
Java 2 by Example is a book well written. As a practitioner needing to a good refresher and a deeper appreciation of the intricacies of the language that I haven't encountered in my experience, the book certainly meets my expectations. Also for beginners who need a solid foundation on Java, this book is highly recommended. It is an excellent 'teaching book' -- the writing style is pleasant and precise while anticipating my questions and need for clarification.

This review is from: Java 2 by Example (Hayden/Que) (Paperback)
I did not know Java. I purchased a book on Java programming, and then I got lost. I could not even figure out how to differentiate a Java applet from a Java program. I went back to the bookstore and looked through at least 15 books. Java 2 by Example was the only one that spelled out clearly ... the simplest Java application vs. the simplest Java applet. I was impressed by the immediacy of the examples, so I bought the book and my intuition paid off. This book is terrific. Friesen takes you through the language in a clear, consise manner, with concrete examples that build one upon the other. It is very well organized and a breeze to read. And it should be. You are trying to learn Java, not the idiosyncrasies of an author's writing skills. This book is just terrific.

I am this book's author and need your help, By Jeff Friesen (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Java 2 by Example (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
Hello, I am the author of Java 2 By Example, Second Edition -- and I have a problem with the 10 positive/negative reviews on this page. The problem is: all of those reviews apply to the book's predecessor and NOT to this book. Therefore, a potential reader that reads those reviews is at a disadvantage -- the reader thinks those reviews reflect the Second Edition of this book, when they do not. I would appreciate your removal of all ten reviews (if possible). Thanks in advance for your help.Jeff Friesen |
