## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ amazing book
*by A***N on August 29, 2024*

May come hard to digest for newbies at the beginnings, but bear with it. This book teaches you exactly what it proposes—a way of thinking.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the Best Programming Books I've Used
*by G***E on September 21, 2013*

I can't say enough good things about this book. I've been using it to quickly learn Java so as to program in Android. Obviously not everything I need is going to be in the book, but the concepts of Java that the author so clearly explains have been foundational.Having read dozens of programming books over the years, my take is that the majoriy are quickly put out and cover a lot of the same crud that every other book does, and in the same unfilling manner of them all. THIS BOOK however is totally fresh.My two books for the year are "Thinking in Java" and "Nerd Ranch Guide to Android Programming".

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book That Is THICK But With Good Intention
*by D***D on May 18, 2015*

I read this book side by side with "Java A Beginner's Guide Sixth Edition" by Herbert Schildt.A lot of the reviews seem to highlight that this is a hard book to get through which I would agree, which is why I purchased both books. The "Java A Beginner's" book outlines the MAIN POINTS to know for each topic but leaves spaces to branch out for further study and research.For example the chapter on generics was only about 40 pages in "Java A Beginner's" vs 120 in "Thinking in Java". What the "Java A Beginner's" book did was start small explaining more in depth of what generics are and starting with a simple generics example. Not taking anything away from the "Thinking in Java" book but it seems to dive deeper much faster which is where I think some of the confusion comes from.All in all, "Thinking in Java" was a well written book and can also be used as a future reference book, it gives plenty of detail and depth to make sure you really understand the concepts thoroughly. That being said, both books are not really for an absolute beginners but perhaps people with a little programming background. This doesn't have to be years of training but maybe knowing the fundamentals. If you are new to programming I would just make sure that you fully understand a topic before moving on or you will be stuck and not absorb much needed information given in later chapters.
