Thinking in Java

Posted on by

Thinking in Java is a printed version of Bruce Eckel s online materials that provides a useful perspective on mastering Java for those with previous programming experience The author s take on the essence of Java as a new programming language and the thorough introduction to Java s features make this a worthwhile tutorial. Thinking in Java begins a little esoterically, with the author s reflections on why Java is new and better This book s choice of font for chapter headings is remarkably hard on the eyes The author outlines his thoughts on why Java will make you a better programmer, without all the complexity The book is better when he presents actual language features There s a tutorial to basic Java types, keywords, and operators The guide includes extensive source code that is sometimes daunting as with the author s sample code for all the Java operators in one listing As such, this text will be most useful for the experienced developer. The text then moves on to class design issues, when to use inheritance and composition, and related topics of information hiding and polymorphism The treatment of inner classes and scoping will likely seem a bit overdone for most readers The chapter on Java collection classes for both Java Developer s Kit JDK 1.1 and the new classes, such as sets, lists, and maps, are much better There s material in this chapter that you are unlikely to find anywhere else. Chapters on exception handling and programming with type information are also worthwhile, as are the chapters on the new Swing interface classes and network programming Although it adopts somewhat of a mixed bag approach, Thinking in Java contains some excellent material for the object oriented developer who wants to see what all the fuss is about with Java New Read [ Thinking in Java ] by [ Bruce Eckel ] – kino-fada.fr Bruce s approach to teaching the Java fundamentals is refreshingly different from most Learn Java books I have been working with Java for three years, starting with college courses and the very basic Teach Yourself Java books Most books simply go into syntax and fundamentals from a how to approach Thinking in Java isconcerned with explaining the Java language s design and behavior, and how the current topic fits in with Object Oriented Programming I found myself having constant, O Bruce s approach to teaching the Java fundamentals is refreshingly different from most Learn Java books I have been working with Java for three years, starting with college course...This book suffers from the same problem that many computer science books have It seems that Eckel believes that learning a programming language should be completed on an exponential curve.0 basic This is a a variable type stuff.10 this is how you make a function.100 you need to develop classes in this manner1000 when you re calli...This book is actually really good for a really curious beginner who has never seen a single line of code before It is absolutely not a cookbook In school, they often present intro to programming classes as how to memorize sections of funny symbols You are basically glued to whatever programming language they use to introduce the CONCEPT of object oriented programming or even computer science This does not prepare you for problem solving in any way In this book, the intro chapter alo This book is actually really good for a really curious beginner who has never seen a single line of code before It is absolutely not a cookboo...I lived to see the last page of that book It definitely expanded my vision and understanding of the programming world of Java The book is full of details and examples I found them a bit too many They would serve much better as a reference rather than to teach something about the language itself Nevertheless they absolutely satisfied my curiosity at the points where I had some extra in my bag.I would recommend this book to the intermediate programmer I don t think it is a book for the very b I lived to see the last page of that book It definitely expanded my vision and understanding of the programming world of Java The book is full of details and examples I found them a bit too many They would serve much better as a reference rather than to teach something about the language itself Neverthel...,,, ,java Must have ,3 ,, , ,,3 ,, , ,Really great book to refresh knowledge about java and concurrency I was thinking that this book will just tell you about language specification e.g you have to write variable as so etc But this book really helps you Think in java A lot of examples helps to unders...Excellent read Recommended for new comers, as well as experienced developers This book gives an insight and perception into writing code, and working of the language no other programming reference manuals come close to This book will help you develop...A bit outdated, code listing are hard to follow due to a bad text formatting.One of the best Java books.
