This "for Dummies" book is great solution for anyone who is interested in programming computers in the high-level Java language, regardless of skill level. This book will bring any computer user up to par with what they need to know about Java by starting with the basics and progressing logically to more complicated material. There is a section which is very helpful in preventing mistakes in your code or detecting those which have already been made (debugging). There are also many references to additional material that can be found on the world wide web. The book even contains guidance for those who are interested in looking for Java programming jobs in Java, in addition to a bonus CD-ROM that contains additional programs, software, and freeware, including the JCreator integrated development environment, Jindent, WinOne, and NetCaptor freeware. I recommend Java for Dummies for any computer programming student who lacks a sufficient reference textbook, or for anyone who is interested in learning Java.
