“The great thing about this book is its simple, step-by-step approach. It doesn’t try to teach everything—it

just launches you right into building iPhone applications in a friendly, conversational way. It’s a fantastic

book for people who already know how to write code and just want to get straight into the meat of

building iPhone applications.”

“There’s something in Head First Java for everyone. Visual learners, kinesthetic learners, everyone can

learn from this book. Visual aids make things easier to remember, and the book is written in a very

accessible style—very different from most Java manuals…Head First Java is a valuable book. I can see the

“Another nice thing about Head First Java, 2nd Edition is that it whets the appetite for more. With later

coverage of more advanced topics such as Swing and RMI, you just can’t wait to dive into those APIs

and code that flawless, 100000-line program on java.net that will bring you fame and venture-capital

First Java, 2nd Edition. Even if you already know Java, you may pick up a thing or two. And if not, just

thumbing through the pages is a great deal of fun.”

“Of course it’s not the range of material that makes Head First Java stand out, it’s the style and approach.

in cognitive science and learning to provide a visual learning experience rich in images and designed

for how the brain works and learns best. The result is a powerful tribute to web design basics that any

general-interest computer library will find an important key to success.”

— Diane C. Donovan, California Bookwatch: The Computer Shelf

“I definitely recommend Head First Web Design to all of my fellow programmers who want to get a grip on

the more artistic side of the business. ”
