❂   Beginning Programming with Java For Dummies   ❂
by Barry A. Burd  (Author)

One of the most popular beginning programming books, now fully updated
Java is a popular language for beginning programmers, and earlier editions of this fun and friendly guide have helped thousands get started. Now fully revised to cover recent updates for Java 7.0, Beginning Programming with Java For Dummies, 3rd Edition is certain to put more first-time programmers and Java beginners on the road to Java mastery.

Explores what goes into creating a program, putting the pieces together, dealing with standard programming challenges, debugging, and making the program work
Offers new options for tools and techniques used in Java development
Provides valuable information and examples for the would-be programmer with no Java experience
All examples are updated to reflect the latest changes in Java 7.0
Beginning Programming with Java For Dummies, 3rd Edition offers an easy-to-understand introduction to programming through the popular, versatile Java 7.0 language.



Excellent and recommended introduction to Java (along with Eclipse IDE configuration) for beginners. The examples are well thought out and clear and gradually introduce the concepts required to progress to more advanced programming in the future. This is NOT a study guide for the Oracle Java accreditation exams but a real introduction to Java for the curious, the student and the professional. It is also updated regularly with those updates freely available on the author's website along with the example programs. The only addition to the excellent text I could think of might be to add configuration information for the NetBeans IDE as well seeing as NetBeans seems to be catching up with Eclipse in terms of popularity.
