Head First Java: A Brain-Friendly Guide

I am an IT Pro and bought this book as a supplement for my son's AP Computer Science A. This is the best book for all Java beginners. It contains numerous notes to explain what code fragments aim to achieve. Highly recommend!

These authors are amazing - how you can incorporate humor and pretty in-depth information about a boring programming language (Java) is a feat of magic all by itself. This may be one of the few computer reference books you can actually read cover to cover (and the illustrations/cartoons are a hoot as well). It puts the fun back into programming and puts a whole new light on a normally dry subject. Hats off to all of them for doing this.

My first book, with which I started my Java journey. Very well written, with lots of examples and practice exercises.

Okay, so... I thought maybe I'd try learning in a new way. The reviews made it sound so good and easy-to-follow. And in fairness, it is packed full of useful information. For me, though, the extras were just too much distraction from the content. I guess I'm more of a technical, "just hurry up and give me the info so I can do my job"-type reader. I knew it wasn't a reference-type book upfront. But I'm a software engineer by trade, and I wanted a nice refresher on Java, as I'm transitioning job roles after focusing mainly on front-end work for the last few years. For my own personal learning style, this book was frustrating, and I ended up getting a different one. However, most reviewers seem to disagree with me. So, from another perspective, if you're just casually studying... or, if little activities, pictures, and faux-hand-written, punny notes and so forth, help you to learn, this book is probably a good fit. The activities do actually seem helpful and fun, and I may even do some of them when I have more time for a fun read. It does have tons good information, and if you're that kind of learner, I do recommend it. It's just probably not meant for a boring, dry, technical supernerd like myself.

Great book. Must have for beginners in Java. The pages were printed in good quality. By the way, this book is #1 recommendation from ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok.

I've ordered about 3-4 different books to supplement my Java course I'm currently in, but each was just as confusing as the one prior. This one is the BEST I have encountered so far, truly explains things at an understandable level. If you must order one Java book for learning, this is the one!!!!

This is a good book to get started and has images and examples which help to understand the concepts better.

Came undamaged, and was as advertised

You will not learn from this, how to programming in Java.

Good book and was delivered quickly

The print quality is good and the font is legible without much eye-strain. The book arrived in excellent condition as well. As for the contents of the book it is considered as one of the best books for learning Java so you can put your trust in the book, and I'm sure you'll get something out of it.

Come detto sopra, il libro è ottimo. C`è da dire che più già sapete sull'argomento e meglio è.
