Ground-Up Java [PDF ebook] 

Learn Java From the Ground-Up–With Animated Illustrationsthat You Manipulate This is the first effective Java book for true beginners. Sure, books before now focused on basic concepts and key techniques, andsome even provided working examples on CD. Still, they lacked thepower to transform someone with no programming experience intosomeone who sees, who really ‘gets it.’Working with Ground-Up Java, you will definitely get it. This isdue to the clarity of Phil Heller’s explanations, and the smoothlyflowing organization of his instruction. He’s one of the best Javatrainers around.But what’s really revolutionary are his more than 30 animatedillustrations, which you’ll find on the enclosed CD. Each of thesesmall programs, visual and interactive in nature, vividlydemonstrates how its source code works. You can modify it indifferent ways, distinctly altering the behavior of the program. Asyou experiment with these tools–and you can play with themfor hours–you’ll gain both the skills and the fundamentalunderstanding needed to complete each chapter’s exercises, whichsteadily increase in sophistication. No other beginning Java bookcan take you so far, so quickly, and none will be half as muchfun.Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials arenot included as part of e Book file.
