Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book is very good in teaching Java, the examples along with the exercises make good practice for new topics introduced. For individuals familiar with coding, they will be able to pick up this material with relative ease. However, if you are new to a programming language and wish to start out with Java using this book, pick a different text because certain fundamental topics of the language are explained relatively quickly in the earlier chapters. Java is a complex language that has a wide variety of applications and the section that explains classes and objects in my opinion is rushed through. The book assumes Java is not the first programming language the reader has come across. For this reason, I have not given it five stars. You may not need the second part of this book as. the book already covers plenty of advanced material near the latter half. With all this being said, it is still a good book that I recommend having.

⭐I have the gotten up to chapter 8. I found most of the exercises from chapter 2-6 to be very easy to grasp from the content of the text. However, chapter 7 ramps up the difficult once you hit the knight touring problem. I had to search online how to solve the knight touring problem. Maybe I did not read the problem correctly, but I found it to be quite difficult. I did not even attempt the queen movement problem.One criticism I find with the book is sometimes the instructions can be vague. I guess they are created that way to sort of replicate real life scenarios.Chapter 8’s problems so far are not too bad, but I have only completed one exercise (8.5). I initially found this problem confusing because I did not see the purpose of the whole “seconds from midnight” variable. The exercise itself does not really explain what you are supposed to do with that variable.I find Deitel’s text to be better than the Daniel Liang text, which I believe is written for those already familiar with the subject matter. I already have bought their visual c# text, and will begin looking into that text once I finish up on the java text.

⭐I had previously given this book a one-star review as I felt the frustrations I encountered in my Java education were rooted in the issues I had with this book. I still feel this is true, but now more time has passed where I had reviewed competitive products and even progressed further through this book.I know I learn best by going through exercises, and not at all by reading. I think math textbooks are the best example of my meaning. I don’t feel that the Java book market really provides the kind of book that would be best for me, so I have to admit that from all my searching that this book seems to come closest. For this reason, I am willing to adjust my rating up one star.This book is over one thousand pages. It provides a wide range of content, and I do appreciate that the authors tried to cover so much of Java in a single book. I think though that some of these chapters need to have their design modified. Chapter 12 and 13 which introduce a new programmer to JavaFX through what seems to be an assumption that the programmer is familiar with XML. As a new programmer, I think it is far easier to learn JavaFX without leaving the Java language or learning how to use and incorporate Scene Builder. I think it is a mistake to expect this. Also, the Chapter 12 tutorial which the book uses to introduce JavaFX seems to end abruptly before it finishes. For myself, beyond the exercises at the end of the chapter, I couldn’t use these chapters at all. I ended up learning JavaFX from Bucky’s newboston channel on YouTube.I have four or five other Deitel books, and all of them are filled with mistakes. There are occasional exercise instructions that seem like they have been haphazardly edited as they contradict themselves from one sentence to the next. There are frequent exercises which have little to do with the current chapter subject material and actually are designed for subjects not yet covered. There are political exercises at the end of every chapter to teach you about global warming or some such thing. Half the time there is no programming lesson involved in these.This book takes on a wide range of material, and you can learn Java from this book. Only because I think this book can work despite its shortcomings am I willing to bump it up another star to three stars. This is the book that taught me Java. Most people seem to love it, but I think in a better book market this would be a one-star product.

⭐The authors cover the concepts through examples and exercises. This is a good book for beginners to have as a reference and to learn Java. Each concept is covered with examples that explain the code being presented. Easy to follow and read.

⭐You’d think that Amazon would have a better method to find alternative book versions.If you are taking a course that requires this book and will be needing the programming lab – do NOT get this book.It only includes the code for the companion website, not the programming one.The one with the programming lab is this one: https://www.amazon.com/Program-Objects-Programming-Pearson-Package/dp/0134800273/Otherwise – it’s a programming book – so it’s fairly good, not perfect – but certainly better than most.

⭐This book is a must for anyone who likes to have ideas simplified with easily understandable examples. It took taking 2 java-related course for me come across this book, and I wish I could have had this in my hands from the very beginning.

⭐This would be a good book for someone that has just started programming or maybe has some simple understanding of coding. If you write c++ or know OO methodology or even just are proficient in c then 60-70% of the words in this book are a waste of your time as they explain basic programming constructs, data structures, and simple algorithms like traversing a multi dimensional array… it does cover the Java language well as an introduction. And it would be a great book for someone new to software coding where java may be their first language to seriously study. It does contain a lot of good nuggets of real world wisdom set in little stand out blocks. Even experienced programmers may find a nugget or two in them. But if you already know tree traversing and maps and basic OO methods, you might look for a different java book. One that focuses on the language rather than on coding.

⭐While I like this book and its content and the authors. service from Pearson India is pathetic. Please note that this book only has half the chapters and rest half are available online! Inside the front cover of the book, there is information on how to access the online content. However person India site is half functional, the provided access code does not work, and while registering on the site, the site keeps throwing error messages! I wasted my money on this.Please also note that I have written 3 emails to elearning.in@pearson.com ( this email id was provided inside the cover page) and NO response! Finally have written to author Dietel, and he in turn forwarded it to US pearson counterpart, and they have forwarded it to pearson India. So back to square 1. Pathetic!!

⭐This is an excellent book for both beginners & experienced. This is a huge book of 35 chapters (25 print + 11 online). Book is divided in to 11 parts : Part 1 Introduction, part 2 Additional Programming fundamentals, part 3 Object Oriented Programming, part 4 Java FX, part 5 Data Structures, Generic Collections, Lambdas & Streams, Part 6 Concurrency; Networking, part 7 Database access with JDBC; Java Persistence API (JPA), Part 8 Web Development with Java Server Faces… Book has everything from beginning to advanced programming (Generics, Collections, Data Structures, Lambdas & Streams, Concurrency and Networking, JDBC & JPA and JSF and Java FX). The way Programming is done in java has changed from Java SE 8 with the introduction of Lambdas & Streams; both these topics are well covered in the book. This book is also useful for OCA & OCP Java SE 8 Programmer certifications. Book has hands on approach with many real life examples. All the examples can be downloaded. By the same authors there are C & C++ books: C How To Program 8e and C++ How To Program 9e, one good feature of these 3 books is the use of common examples. This will help in learning multiple languages. I started with C then C++ and now mainly with Java as I do application programming. I have all the 3 books and the print quality of all the 3 is very good.

⭐la parte di teoria é la migliore che ho trovato fino ad ora, i libri di testo consigliati dall’università… no. 4 stelle perché c’ è una grossa pecca: nonostante la buona quantità di esercizi presenti, NON ci sono proposte di soluzione per la maggior parte delle parti di programmazione! piuttosto avrei lesinato sui vero/falso e completamenti variMuy buen material, Deitel te lleva de la mano para que puedas comprender y practicar cada tema del libro, adicionalmente el material extra en las paginas de Deitel esta excelente.I needed a complete reference book and this one seems to be the one for me. Well written, clear examples and lots of exercises. No complaints so far.
