The best feature of this book are the complete code examples that can compile and run. It also has "Good Programing Practice" suggestions, "Common Program Error" tips and "Error Prevention Tips".
My professor did not use this book very much except to assign problems out of it as homework. I, personally, did not reference the text at all but I found the programming problems a little fun and a little challenging.
This text is by far the most inclusive and complete text on Java I have ever seen. I was able to use it to help me solve problems that the "assigned" textbook for my programming class could not help me with. Breaks down everything in detail and provides many, many examples. The text helped me out when I thought all hope was lost. I am glad I came across it.
I wanted to see it how it looks on paperback paper quality and I have to be honest I am dissapointed. I now understand why people purchase the original ISBN copy. The paper is so different. The quality of a hard paper original book can not be matched with international cheap editions. So while I am happy with excellent service and delivery and the book is certainly as described before to me by the seller, I still wanted to see it for myself and I have to say I won't be using this book. So I wasted my money because now I will go out there and buy the better quality book which costs much more. Maybe it is just me but I like good quality paper books and hard cover. I like to smell them also. This one I can not smell very good. :-) Thank you.
I wanted to buy "Java 7th by Deitel & Associates" because I needed some kind of java bible and this is exactly what I got. It was really cheap (about 80% cheaper than retailers) and shipping was very fast! All good.
The seller shipped the item out quickly and the item arrived as described. Also the seller responded to my question quickly and honestly. I recommend for business. 100% satisfied.
Great buy, would buy from again. Speedy service, thanks. I bought the book weeks ago and was immediately impressed with the promptness of the delivery. It had everything that was advertised. The book was in perfect shape upon delivery and has a pretty good lifespan. I would recommend anyone to purchase this book because they would not be dissatified.
Book is good but it is a photocopy that's why it is thicker than the original book itself. I don't like that it was a photocopy and the seller did not openly say that to all. Everything is in black and white which does not help too much. Missing all the colourful comments is not a good thing.
The book is pretty straight forward, i live the fact that i cover encapsulation, inheritance early in the chapter. I dislike the fact that something the assignment on what to do are vague. I also love the fact that it explain every line in detail. I decided to buy it because it was a newer version and wanted to understand the new topics in the java 1.6 mustang. Overall, i would recommend the book to beginners in java because it's pretty simple to understand java with this book.
Unlike other computer science books where they use { i , j , k }. This Book uses real world example. Therefore, you will have a better understanding of Java and object oriented programming. In general Deitel & Associates provides execelent academic books.
