Good for even experience developers, July 3, 2007

By Mark A. Franjione "franji1" (the mountains of East Tennessee,
USA) - See all my reviews

I've been programming C++ for 12+ years now (C for 23+),
and I was hoping Deitel had a Developer Series book for Java (like they
have for C#), but there currently is not one.

However, that did not deter me from purchasing their "How
to Program" book, and it has been worth it. If you are an experienced
developer, this book still contains good info, with great examples,
is up-to-date with the latest Java language enhancements.

If you're one of those people who judge a book by the
inverse proportion of the number of pages, please rethink your view.
Sure, this book is big, but it shows all you need to know, which is
great if you are new to programming, and is a minor hassle if you are
not.

Colorized code helps greatly (like your IDE). It gets
into language syntax/semantics but also the various java import libraries
- graphics, database, et. al.

The Software Engineering tips are always "right on".
