Product Description "The [arrays] exercises are quite sophisticated and interesting. Provides the best combination of conceptual discussion and implementation examples of dynamic binding that I have encountered in a text. Excellent overview of basic networking via Java. Provides the perfect breadth and depth for generics in an entry-level Java class. Provides a good segue into a data structures course – the exercises are excellent." – Ric Heishman, George Mason University
"Beautiful collections of exercises–a nice illustration of how to use Java libraries to generate impressive and stimulating graphics with minimal code and effort. I found the “Making a Difference” exercises to be very nice and tactfully presented." – Amr Sabry, Indiana University
"A comprehensive introduction to programming in Java that covers all major areas of the platform. To me, the best way to understand programming is by example, and this book contains copious, well-described sample code." – Simon Ritter, Sun Microsystems
"Great example of polymorphism and interfaces. Great comparison of recursion and iteration. I found the [Searching and Sorting] chapter to be just right. A very understandable, simplified explanation of Big O–the best I have ever read! A great synthesis of details to help someone create generic data structures. I appreciate the addition of the GUI-based threading issues. Great approach to Java web technologies." – Sue McFarland Metzger, Villanova University
"I’m sure this [ATM] case study will be of immense value to practitioners and students of the object-oriented approach. Demystifies inheritance and polymorphism, and illustrates their use in getting elegant, simple and maintainable code." – Vinod Varma, Astra Infotech Private Limited
Deitel, Java How to Program 8th editionAugust 22, 2010 QUIKLAVAMAN I owned the 7th edition, and understand that in many college text books, many students feel that those editors have only a few lines of text, and sell the book for hundreds of dollars but these Deitel books, I don't believe that this is the case. These books always have vital information, I love them. I just hope that the 9th edition isn't released shortly after I get the 8th edition. My luck is always that way.
Great for Beginners( Step by Step )July 18, 2010 Jocs This book is very easy to understand. Everything is show by example. The author provides the codes and explains them in detail, unlike other books that leave you clueless for an explanation. As the chapters progress, many of the codes are reused, but they are constructed more robust and efficiently( Software Engineered ). The price of these book also comes with ONLINE LEARNING material. In the first page of the book there is a code that you can use for online learning. There you can find the ebook, video explanation of every code, and source code.
An incredible way to learn JavaMarch 16, 2010 I. A. Pardo(Spain, Europe) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I think this is the best Java book I've ever seen. When I bought it I thought 'Ummmh, maybe is a little expensive', but it's an excellent resource to learn, and his quality (design, paper, contents, web add-ons) makes it the best book to learn Java.

The Greatest Java Book ever publishedJanuary 21, 2010 Somforce Inc. 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a long time student/reader of Deitel Java how to program series. I am a cs graduate and used this series since their first edition Java 1.0 back in 1996/97 and have been buying every edition ever since. I current have all the Java editions...including J++ :-). I even have the C++, VB, C how to program. I just love how easy they explain the topics. Once you get use to reading Deitel books, you will see what I mean.
I would like to tell the Deitels that my career was shaped by your books and the way you made new cs students learn (step by step). Everyone can write a book, but I have not seen ANY one explain these topics the way you do. And I have over 200 books.
