This book really does include something valuable for any level of Java programmer (from the beginner to the advanced.) My only censure is the author’s consistent use of the printf command, which I consider is better apt for other programming languages. I am captivated by the detailed explanations, but the text is also brief enough as to not be extremely verbose. The colors and visuals make this solid text appealing and readable.

The writers provide outstanding notes in the code examples to help the reader follow it more efficiently. The book is packed with a momentous amount of example code, which I found easy to follow. Java: How To Program thrives in being both a tutorial and a reference.


This is absolutely the best and most comprehensive book out there in regards to Java programming.
