Java

Second Edition

Comments from readers:

Much better than any other Java book I’ve seen. Make that “by an order of

magnitude”... very complete, with excellent right-to-the-point examples

and intelligent, not dumbed-down, explanations ... In contrast to many

other Java books I found it to be unusually mature, consistent,

intellectually honest, well-written and precise. IMHO, an ideal book for

studying Java. Anatoly Vorobey, Technion University, Haifa,

Israel

One of the absolutely best programming tutorials I’ve seen for any

language. Joakim Ziegler, FIX sysop

Thank you for your wonderful, wonderful book on Java. Dr. Gavin

Pillay, Registrar, King Edward VIII Hospital, South Africa

Thank you again for your awesome book. I was really floundering (being a

non-C programmer), but your book has brought me up to speed as fast as

I could read it. It’s really cool to be able to understand the underlying

principles and concepts from the start, rather than having to try to build

that conceptual model through trial and error. Hopefully I will be able to

attend your seminar in the not-too-distant future. Randall R. Hawley,

Automation Technician, Eli Lilly & Co.

The best computer book writing I have seen. Tom Holland

This is one of the best books I’ve read about a programming language…

The best book ever written on Java. Ravindra Pai, Oracle

Corporation, SUNOS product line

This is the best book on Java that I have ever found! You have done a

great job. Your depth is amazing. I will be purchasing the book when it is

published. I have been learning Java since October 96. I have read a few

books, and consider yours a “MUST READ.” These past few months we

have been focused on a product written entirely in Java. Your book has

helped solidify topics I was shaky on and has expanded my knowledge

base. I have even used some of your explanations as information in

interviewing contractors to help our team. I have found how much Java

knowledge they have by asking them about things I have learned from

reading your book (e.g., the difference between arrays and Vectors). Your

book is great! Steve Wilkinson, Senior Staff Specialist, MCI

Telecommunications

Great book. Best book on Java I have seen so far. Jeff Sinclair,

Software Engineer, Kestral Computing

Thank you for Thinking in Java . It’s time someone went beyond mere

language description to a thoughtful, penetrating analytic tutorial that

doesn’t kowtow to The Manufacturers. I’ve read almost all the others–

only yours and Patrick Winston’s have found a place in my heart. I’m

already recommending it to customers. Thanks again. Richard Brooks,

Java Consultant, Sun Professional Services, Dallas

Other books cover the WHAT of Java (describing the syntax and the

libraries) or the HOW of Java (practical programming examples).

Thinking in Java is the only book I know that explains the WHY of Java;

why it was designed the way it was, why it works the way it does, why it

sometimes doesn’t work, why it’s better than C++, why it’s not. Although

it also does a good job of teaching the what and how of the language,

Thinking in Java is definitely the thinking person’s choice in a Java book.

Robert S. Stephenson

Thanks for writing a great book. The more I read it the better I like it. My

students like it, too. Chuck Iverson

I just want to commend you for your work on Thinking in Java . It is

people like you that dignify the future of the Internet and I just want to

thank you for your effort. It is very much appreciated. Patrick Barrell,

Network Officer Mamco, QAF Mfg. Inc.

Most of the Java books out there are fine for a start, and most just have

beginning stuff and a lot of the same examples. Yours is by far the best

advanced thinking book I’ve seen. Please publish it soon! ... I also bought

Thinking in C++ just because I was so impressed with Thinking in Java .

George Laframboise, LightWorx Technology Consulting, Inc.

I wrote to you earlier about my favorable impressions regarding your

Thinking in C++ (a book that stands prominently on my shelf here at

work). And today I’ve been able to delve into Java with your e-book in my

virtual hand, and I must say (in my best Chevy Chase from Modern

Problems ) “I like it!” Very informative and explanatory, without reading

like a dry textbook. You cover the most important yet the least covered

concepts of Java development: the whys. Sean Brady

Your examples are clear and easy to understand. You took care of many

important details of Java that can’t be found easily in the weak Java

documentation. And you don’t waste the reader’s time with the basic facts

a programmer already knows. Kai Engert, Innovative Software,

Germany

I’m a great fan of your Thinking in C++ and have recommended it to

associates. As I go through the electronic version of your Java book, I’m

finding that you’ve retained the same high level of writing. Thank you!

Peter R. Neuwald

VERY well-written Java book...I think you’ve done a GREAT job on it. As

the leader of a Chicago-area Java special interest group, I’ve favorably

mentioned your book and Web site several times at our recent meetings. I

would like to use Thinking in Java as the basis for a part of each monthly

SIG meeting, in which we review and discuss each chapter in succession.

Mark Ertes

I really appreciate your work and your book is good. I recommend it here

to our users and Ph.D. students. Hugues Leroy // Irisa-Inria Rennes

France, Head of Scientific Computing and Industrial Tranfert

OK, I’ve only read about 40 pages of Thinking in Java , but I’ve already

found it to be the most clearly written and presented programming book

I’ve come across...and I’m a writer, myself, so I am probably a little

critical. I have Thinking in C++ on order and can’t wait to crack it–I’m

fairly new to programming and am hitting learning curves head-on

everywhere. So this is just a quick note to say thanks for your excellent

work. I had begun to burn a little low on enthusiasm from slogging

through the mucky, murky prose of most computer books–even ones that

came with glowing recommendations. I feel a whole lot better now.

Glenn Becker, Educational Theatre Association

Thank you for making your wonderful book available. I have found it

immensely useful in finally understanding what I experienced as

confusing in Java and C++. Reading your book has been very satisfying.

Felix Bizaoui, Twin Oaks Industries, Louisa, Va.

I must congratulate you on an excellent book. I decided to have a look at

Thinking in Java based on my experience with Thinking in C++ , and I

was not disappointed. Jaco van der Merwe, Software Specialist,

DataFusion Systems Ltd, Stellenbosch, South Africa

This has to be one of the best Java books I’ve seen. E.F. Pritchard,

Senior Software Engineer, Cambridge Animation Systems Ltd.,

United Kingdom
