Book Review - Ground-Up Java

Category Book Reviews

I just finished a review of the book Ground-Up Java by Philip Heller (Sybex) for our user group.  This is a very well-written tutorial for beginning Java developers,and it has a unique twist.  The author has a CD with Java programs that allow you to watch code evaluate and run to illustrate coding points.  For example, he has a formula evaluator that allows you to type in a numerical formula, and then watch the animation parse and evaluate the result.  Great way to fully understand how order of evalution affects your result.

You can read the full review at the Portland Domino/Notes User Group site.

Gravatar Image1 - With what did they grind up the Java? I am confused.

Gravatar Image2 - LOL! Every time I look at that book, I have a hard time reading it as (from the) Ground Up Java, instead of as Java in a blender...
