Comment: Book Review:
Java How to Program, 4th ed.
Advanced Java 2 Platform How to Program
Deitel & Deitel
I finished three java programming courses at Santa
Monica College two of which required the Java How to
Program, 4th ed., the other was a java w/data
structures course and I used the Java How to Program,
4th ed. and the instructors lecture notes. I bought
the advanced book to learn more about java and the
net, java 2d, 3d and j2me since I am into pc and
online video games development, and data base
connections with jdbc since I know sql. Design
patterns and enterprise java case study give
industrial strength business applications.
The authors packed and packed java into these books.
The books are easy to follow, and everything works. I
found the exercises challenging but not overwelming. I
have not ran across an exercise I cannot do, although
some require in depth study of the topics covered. And
when if all comes together it's fun. The chapters
build on each other very well, and the materials moves
fast and stays interesting.
The cd's have everything I need to get started: what
to install, how to install it, how to set the
environment. The forte community edition is packed
with java building and debugging tools that make java
programming faster and easier to follow. Try the
Reformat Code tool, and check out the text coloring.
I cannot say enough about these authors and their
materials. Anybody getting into java programming will
be more than satisfied for a long time.
Thank you Deitel & Associates

Summary: A very impressive textbook
Comment: Once again, Deitel has published a very impressive book. This new edition has been updated for Java 1.4 with, among other topics, coverage of regular expression and NIO. In addition, chapters on JDBC, Servlets, and JSP have been added. The chapter on object oriented programming and polymorphism has been rewritten and expanded into two chapters. The book has been cleaned up with redundancy removed in order to keep it around 1500 pages. Overall, the book is as complete as you would want in an introduction to Java. The book covers virtually everything in J2SE, gives a good primer on object oriented programming, covers design patterns and UML, and even gives an introduction to server side development. There's enough information in this book for at least two semesters of Java. All this information can be overwhelming but the authors use extensive, well commented color coded program samples to explain each topic. It is almost impossible to turn a page and not find either code samples or a diagram. In addition, there is a natural flow from topic to topic. This book was written as a college textbook and it has a college textbook "feel". Each chapter has well thought out exercises but the solutions must be purchased separately. A lab manual for this book is also available (release date, July 1, 2003). If you are planning on teaching a Java course and you are looking for a textbook this is book would make a good choice.

Summary: Poor examples
Comment: The teaching method is moderately ok, but have the programmers ever worked in the industry? If they have it seems like they could come up with better examples. There is also no real sense of flow from one chapter to the next, everything is just a jumble of ideas thrown on paper.
