Praise for other Head First books
“Kathy and Bert’s Head First Java transforms the printed page into the closest thing to a GUI you’ve ever
seen. In a wry, hip manner, the authors make learning Java an engaging ‘what’re they gonna do next?’
experience.”
— Warren Keuffel, Software Development Magazine
“Beyond the engaging style that drags you forward from know-nothing into exalted Java warrior status, Head
First Java covers a huge amount of practical matters that other texts leave as the dreaded ‘exercise for the
reader....’ It’s clever, wry, hip and practical—there aren’t a lot of textbooks that can make that claim and live
up to it while also teaching you about object serialization and network launch protocols.”
— Dr. Dan Russell, Director of User Sciences and Experience Research
IBM Almaden Research Center (and teaches Artificial Intelligence at
Stanford University)
“It’s fast, irreverent, fun, and engaging. Be careful—you might actually learn something!”
— Ken Arnold, former Senior Engineer at Sun Microsystems
Coauthor (with James Gosling, creator of Java), The Java Programming
Language
“I feel like a thousand pounds of books have just been lifted off of my head.”
— Ward Cunningham, inventor of the Wiki and founder of the Hillside Group
“Just the right tone for the geeked-out, casual-cool guru coder in all of us. The right reference for practi-
cal development strategies—gets my brain going without having to slog through a bunch of tired, stale
professor -speak.”
— Travis Kalanick, Founder of Scour and Red Swoosh
Member of the MIT TR100
“There are books you buy, books you keep, books you keep on your desk, and thanks to O’Reilly and the
Head First crew, there is the penultimate category, Head First books. They’re the ones that are dog-eared,
mangled, and carried everywhere. Head First SQL is at the top of my stack. Heck, even the PDF I have
for review is tattered and torn.”
— Bill Sawyer, ATG Curriculum Manager, Oracle
“This book’s admirable clarity, humor and substantial doses of clever make it the sort of book that helps
even non-programmers think well about problem-solving.”
— Cory Doctorow, co-editor of Boing Boing
Author, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom
