 Art and Science of Java / review February 10, 2010

Best part about this book is that lectures from Stanford [CS106A] are available for free!!!

It takes a little elbow grease for the amateur to figure out how to link in libraries etc... but once this is done- you can delve into some meaningful [useful] programing examples early on. My plug for this book is as much for the corresponding class videos and handouts as it is for the book- which when combined together offer a great set of tools for learning computer programing and java. Once through the book and class materials [videos and homework] the student should be able to graduate on to more advanced java books without trouble.
...and if you're going through the Stanford lectures- you can ignore the first several assignments involving KARL and just start with the java assignments.
great approach to learning how to program June 8, 2010

I just finished taking a college course that uses The Art & Science of Java. This book takes a graphical approach to learning how to program. With a graphical approach the student can better understand how object oriented programming works. I taught myself java a few years ago, from a book that taught me how to make programs that output to the command prompt. I never understood object oriented programming until now.

I sont know how I am supposed to review this if I never got the product. I orders and was charged but they later told me they sisnt actually have the product. They returned my money though and everything so I wasn't unhappy.

I bought this book to be able to follow the free online java course at stanford.
It uses the acm library, which makes it harder to get help online.
It is expensive compared to other popular books on java.
Other than that, it has some decents chapters, so I give it three stars.
