 Rating:  - Malik always delivers!Another great "Introduction and continuation of computer programming using *" book from Malik, Java in this case. The style is always the same, why fix it if it isn't broken! This is the defacto standard for college high-level programming language courses in Java. This book is for anyone new to programming and wants to get started with Java, or anyone who likes to skim through a thorough Java book, even if experienced. I use this to learn Java, even having completed ... Read More Rating:  - Good for beginners, horrible for more experienced programmersIf you're new to programming, then maybe this book will work for you. If you're an experienced programmer, don't bother with this text. Given it's now in its 3rd edition, it still has misinformation, and typos. Including the index, it contains 1055 pages, but only covers Java through basic OO (inheritance), some GUI, and exception handling. There is no mention of threading, network programming (which are covered quite well in Core Java, Volume 1 at a much lower price). By the time you've reached Chapter ...

I find it horrible whenever I need to look up anything - rarely is any topic listed in the index - so I have to look at the table of contents, guess which chapter my topic may be in, and then skim the chapter! I'm using the 2nd edition, hopefully the third has repaired this huge oversight! Rating: - horrible, terrible, i hate this book and the authorthis book is absolutely terrible for a beginner. it has no perspective of what programming or java is like from a beginner's viewpoint. it assumes almost right away that you know a lot about programming and java. its explanations are few and far between, and not well written either. moreover, it has a fair number of typos and errors in the text. the person who wrote this book is by undoubtedly a genius, and he definitely knows his stuff; however, he's not a writer and he's not a teacher, and he should be ... Read More Rating: - Take some education coursesThis guy is unbelievable, beginner book my ass, he starts off with basic, basic crap then starts techno blah, blah, blah, is there a road to recovery for this technocrat who can't teach to the rest of us working on our first programming language, just would like to meet the person who picked this for a beggining java course, found more helpful explainations on the web!
