I have three Deitel books. They are all comprehensive, full of examples and quite simply boring. They teach you what you need, but in a way reminiscent of a lifeless professor that has lost all passion. There are better books for learning and there are better books to serve as reference.
Bonne introduction au langage Java brut. Bon pour des très débutants en programmation (tout langage confondu). La partie OO n'est pas très bonne et la séquence d'apprentissage est bonne pour apprendre la programmation, mais pas du tout pour apprendre la philosophie OO.
This book has a special place in my heart. It was the first book I learned Java with when I got into software engineering. In addition to that, it was one of the first editions, and I found a spelling mistake, submitted a correction to the authors, and promptly received a thank-you email from one of the Deitls.
Thank-me very much.
Thank-me very much.
this version is pretty outdated now, but I was a big fan of deitel&deitel books when I was learning how to program.
they're best for new programmers in a new language.
adept programmers wanting to learn a new language would probably find these books too slow.

Reading thru this book to get my Java programming back in full swing.
Good book for reviewing Java. Worth the money and time.

I don't like Java very much so this book was used just for reference. Pretty standard book.
Nearly put me off programming, which I love! :-/ Verbose and bloated explainations, bludgeons reader with extraneous details, not focused, and very dry read. Some Examples are decent, but it is a bad introduction to Java, it vacillates between Programming Primer and comprehensive Java Textbook.
I would recomend Head First Java, it is a far gentler introduction and a lot more fun to read!

At the time that I read this, this was one of the better books on introductory Java that exists then. It is a great learning companion for the beginners in Java. It is a very easy read with plenty of code examples and exercises.

good ****
I really liked this book and I am also grateful. Back in 2007 I started learning how to program Java using this book and the jobs I got as a Java programmer started with this book. I know there is more book about Java (and updated), but this book is in my heart.
Excellent book! It covers virtually everything a professional Java programmer must know. The content goes from the most basic principles up to advanced techniques and concepts. Very well written, great examples!
You'd think a book with "How to Program" twice in its title would be all I need for a first-course primer, but I had to stop studying on this textbook for now. It's really great, I can tell (I think). The thing is, I have absolutely no appreciation for programming since I mostly come from an enthusiast hardware perspective. I mean, I had no idea HTML and CSS (which I'm fine with) were not programming branches - ugh. So, I'm putting it on queue while I go to the very basics - some tutorials, and

First programming book of java read. Worth the size and thickness. :D
Interesting exercise and I woudl really recommend beginners to read the book.

First, this is not how you write specially a JAVA book. Second, every book has its uses. So this book will probably find its uses, where a novice programmer has no other resources i.e., a skilled programmer, to learn programming in Java. OR, your sole target is to familiar yourself with the 'syntax' by typing a lot of code. OR, you need to memorize some portions of the Java library in a short time.
I think compared to this one, the C version is far better. Also, this is unnecessarily voluminous. ...more

very good..
This book taught me Java and some good programming practices along the way. The Deitel series is very structured (focused on theory and concepts, instead of applied projects), so you might not like it if you prefer hands-on manuals.
Apart from that, the text is probably geared towards beginners or intermediate users, and I always encourage teenagers to learn structured programming using Deitel books. Each chapter has both theory and problems which can be used to review and applied recently learn ...more

I can understand why a lot of programmers gave this book 2 or 3 stars, it's because they're BEGINNERS. This book is for you only if you have read a couple other books about Java basics. For me, this book improved my programming skills a lot. It starts using object-oriented programming right from the first chapter, so when you reach the the sixth chapter, you will already be familiar with OOP to talk about inheritance and other advanced OOP skills. This book is also available as video training.

Novice Java Programmers

A very good book for novices, but not so good for intermediates and a waste of time for users who have some experience with a C-based language. It has some comprehensive examples though, and some excellent exercises which most of the other books lack.
A reasonable book for learning with lots of examples, activities, review and code exercises. Not good as a reference though and I seem to recall it was missing information on some subjects (can't think of what off-hand).
I read the 3rd edition of this books, and it was the best book at that time. I don't if there are better options nowadays but I'd bet newer editions probably still around the best books on this language.

Não é recomendado para quem não conhece muito sobre a plataforma. Por mais que seja um bom livro, enche de explicações. Se fosse mais simplificado seria melhor.
Very comprehensive, in-depth book about programming in Java. For any Java developer, from beginner to moderate, this book is a must read.
I would not consider this to be the best book for learning Java. I had to reference other books to fully understand a lot of concepts.
There are no discussion topics on this book yet.
