A great first book if you are not a programmer

20 January 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I am new to programming, did not major in Computer Science at the University. So this is my very first language I am learning. I was able to complete the entire book in 2 weeks by working about 3 hours per day on it.

It is a great book, he explains all the concepts very verbose and I gave up on 3 or 4 different books before I found this one that is written for complete Newbies that do not know anything about coding or OOP or logic. So this is a great first step for anybody and it will bring you up to speed and then you can move on to more advanced books (and actually understand the more advanced books because of the solid foundation you get from this first book.

Barry Burd was also very nice and responded to 3 or 4 of my emails when I needed further clarification about a couple of the exercises that we have to do on our own. He was fast to respond and break things down line by line for me. I really appreciate it since I am doing this at home on my own and I have no teacher and no fellow students to ask so it was very kind of him to respond to me and even he critiqued my own code that I wrote.

Written by a gifted teacher.

3 June 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This book is written by a professor whose job is to teach newbies. A good teacher knows where the student stumbles. This is exactly what the professor has done in this book. This book will clear your fundamentals, which , I think is the most important area. Once you know the "real deal" - programming should not be difficult.

A lot of computer books are written by part time writers who have no experience in teaching, that's the reason why most students give up in frustration. Take for example, the Head First Java book, it may be fun to read, up to an extant , but you will give up after the first 200 pages ( at least that's what I did.

Definitely, a gem of a book.

Great for absolute beginners..

12 March 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This book by Dr. Barry Burd is very detailed and nuanced enough for absolute beginners to programming. By that I mean those like me who have zero training nor experience in programming in general. Dr. Burd does not leave you clueless on how to do things unlike the book "Java: A Beginner's Guide, 8th ed." by Herbert Schildt. So far, it's time and money well spent. Thank you Dr. Burd!

Awesome Book For Beginners - The Best Out There.

23 March 2019 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

This book is for the newbe like me. It's very easy to understand and while you are being taught by reading the book you are actually programming by doing examples step-by-step. You are also taught how to install the Eclipse IDE, step-by-step, and with that you can practice coding. Other books don't tell you how to install it so I never coded just read the book and that becomes boring so I quit. This is by far the best beginner book for learning Java because it goes so slow. Sometimes I think it goes a little too slow. Awesome book.

Ok book if only there were sample code

8 June 2020 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

The book is well organized, structured and informative. However, the value and book functionality is very low since readers can't reach the author's website to access the sample code provided. This means the reader is out of luck in following along on the hands-on exercises and in trying to replicate the examples provided by the book. This really limits the learning potential. Net, net, I bought a paper based Java reference book not a book from which I can learn beginning Java programming hands-on.
