Kathy Sierra has been interested in learning theory since her days as a game developer (Virgin, MGM, Amblin'). More recently, she's been a master trainer for Sun Microsystems, teaching Sun's Java instructors how to teach the latest technologies to customers, and a lead developer of several Sun certification exams. Along with her partner Bert Bates, Kathy created the Head First series. She's also the original founder of the Software Development/Jolt Productivity Award-winning javaranch.com, the largest (and friendliest) all-volunteer Java community.
Bert Bates is a 20-year software developer, a Java instructor, and a co-developer of Sun's upcoming EJB exam (Sun Certified Business Component Developer). His background features a long stint in artificial intelligence, with clients like the Weather Channel, A&E Network, Rockwell, and Timken.
Learning a complex new language is no easy task especially when it s an object-oriented computer programming language like Java. You might think the problem is your brain. It seems to have a mind of its own, a mind that doesn't always want to take in the dry, technical stuff you're forced to study.
The fact is your brain craves novelty. It's constantly searching, scanning, waiting for something unusual to happen. After all, that's the way it was built to help you stay alive. It takes all the routine, ordinary, dull stuff and filters it to the background so it won't interfere with your brain's real work--recording things that matter. How does your brain know what matters? It's like the creators of the Head First approach say, suppose you're out for a hike and a tiger jumps in front of you, what happens in your brain? Neurons fire. Emotions crank up. Chemicals surge.
That's how your brain knows.
And that's how your brain will learn Java. Head First Java combines puzzles, strong visuals, mysteries, and soul-searching interviews with famous Java objects to engage you in many different ways. It's fast, it's fun, and its effective. And, despite its playful appearance, Head First Java is serious stuff: a complete introduction to object-oriented programming and Java. You'll learn everything from the fundamentals to advanced topics, including threads, network sockets, and distributed programming with RMI. And the new. second edition focuses on Java 5.0, the latest version of the Java language and development platform. Because Java 5.0 is a major update to the platform, with deep, code-level changes, even more careful study and implementation is required. So learning the Head First way is more important than ever.
If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect--a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. If you haven't, you're in for a treat. You'll see why people say it's unlike any other Java book you've ever read.
By exploiting how your brain works, Head First Java compresses the time it takes to learn and retain--complex information. Its unique approach not only shows you what you need to know about Java syntax, it teaches you to think like a Java programmer. If you want to be bored, buy some other book. But if you want to understand Java, this book's for you.
完全没有任何cs基础的时候,为了突击一个考试,花了四天的时间看了前十章,中英文对着看,看的又累又晕。 后来有了一点基础以后,随着课堂进度花了一下午重新看了前五章,发现的确讲的很好玩,有些知识点正好和课堂上学到相互呼应。现在是跟着上课的进度慢慢看,觉得的确很能帮...
评分作为业余学习的读者,我是没太多精力和耐心去读那些结构严谨篇章有序的教科书的。 我需要的不是专业老师把一个个概念和知识点抛给我,而是有人能解答我的一个个疑问。我想这就是很多人宁愿去网上问人,也不愿意自己坐下来好好读教科书的原因——因为教科书提供的东西根本不符...

评分编写的形势比较新颖,易于理解,也不会像一般的书那样看久了就会觉得鼓噪,没兴趣了。 但,个人感觉,这本书还是更适于培养兴趣或理解性的学习,做技术参考是不太合适的。而且讲的也都是比较简单的东西。
A crystal clear book made me take the first step in programming, and brought me to the real Hello World. I really appreciate.
评分颠覆了固有的一些想法~~
评分Pretty cool!要学习Android,所以借此了解点Java。 虽然内容上比较简单,只是Java里面最基本的内容,点到为止,但着实有趣,然后我赶紧去下了整个Head First系列的电子书。。。
评分A crystal clear book made me take the first step in programming, and brought me to the real Hello World. I really appreciate.
评分第6本原版书,生动有趣,不过只适合java入门。
