Programming with Java

it's a realy boook I have read. I have had a couple java books, but "programming in java" is the best book I recommand. The authors used short sentances to explain enough knowledge. A lot of authors used long and unclear sentances to talk about one little concept again and again, which made the concept even more confused, and sometimes, they didn't give you enough details about the concept. ANyway, I think "programming with Java" is such a book I ahve read and I hope the author can write more good books like this one.

I'm a student at the University of California at Berkeley with an intended major in Computer Science. The text for my intro to Java course was PROGRAMMING WITH JAVA - By B. Holmes. I think this book is great for beginners. Holmes doesn't "jump right in" with a bunch of examples, but rather, he takes his time to explain what everything means. This is definitely a wise choice!!!
