Well-organized

I absolutely adored this one. The organization was amazing, the book advanced to each new level in tiny baby steps with the option of a full-blown tutorial in which every step is thoroughly explained and illustrated, many exercises, charts, etc. Highly recommended.

I'm an experienced C++ programmer with access to JBuilder version 5. I did most of the examples and learned Java along the way. I was able to contruct simple GUI tools for my job as a software engineer based on the examples from the book.The inside is beautifully layed out in color. It's one...
