It has taken four years, but with Head First Java the introductory Java book category has finally come of age. This is an excellent book, far more capable than any of the scores of Java-for-novices books that have come before it. Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates deserve rich kudos--and big sales--for developing this book's new way of teaching the Java programming language, because any reader with even a little bit of discipline will come away with true understanding of how the language works. Perhaps best of all, this is no protracted "Hello, World" introductory guide. Readers get substantial exposure to object-oriented design and implementation, serialization, neatwork programming, threads, and Remote Method Invocation (RMI).
Key to the authors' teaching style are carefully designed graphics. Rather than explain class inheritance (to cite one example) primarily with text, the authors use a series of tree diagrams that clarify the mechanism far more succinctly. The diagrams are carefully annotated with arrows and notes. Also characteristic of the unique teaching strategy is heavy reliance on exercises, in which the reader is asked to complete partial classes, write whole new code segments and do design work. Though there's little discussion of why the exercises' correct answers are what they are, it's clear that the practice work was carefully designed to reinforce the lesson at hand. If you've waited this long to give Java a try, this book is a great choice. --David Wall
Topics covered: The Java programming language for people with no Java experience, and even people with no programming experience at all. Key concepts read like a list of Java features: Object oriented design, variable type and scope, object properties and methods, inheritance and polymorphism, exceptions, graphical user interfaces (GUIs), network connectivity, Java archives (JAR files), and Remote Method Invocation (RMI).
Book Description
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 it's 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.

Excelent Book with Innovative Approach to Learning.......2007-09-26
I found this book to have a very interesting and efficient approach to help memorize the content. Pictures and labels in or near the picture makes it fun and easy to read unlike other boring 600+ page technology books. I would recommend it.
Great Tutorial Guide for Beginning Java Programmers.......2007-08-25
This book is just plain FUN and easy to read, whether you plan on becoming a professional Java programmer or just want to know what "object-oriented" programming is all about. It is filled with humor and plain language explanations of Java concepts, including loads of examples. Its greatest value, in my opinion, is as a tutorial approach to Java newcomers.
Head First Java is NOT a good reference book though, so don't buy it if that's what you need! The index is missing many common references to ordinary Java concepts so it is difficult to look up how to do something and find instructions, unless it's something extremely mainstream.
That said, this is by far the best book I've ever seen of its kind. If you have the time to actually read through the book and do the exercises, you will come away with an excellent foundation in Java programming. Each exercise (most of which are games) begins with a conceptual explanation, followed by a "prepcode" version (the program written in a combination of English and actual code), and finally as a real Java program. The authors have gone to the trouble of labelling each line of "real" code with an explanation of what it does. They have anticipated users' questions and answered them. They occasionally leave bugs in a program deliberately, so that you can see the error message and then receive a thorough description of why it occurred and how to fix it. Excellent!!!
Head First Java, 2nd addition is a must have........2007-08-16
I'd like to say a few words about Head First Java, 2nd Edition by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates. Teamed with their publisher, "O'Reilly Media, Inc.", they were extremely successful at producing a book of high technical value, worthy entertainment, and having the virtues of a true certification aid.
Technical value: From learning the core fundamental Java features to truly understanding the inner working or Stacks and Heaps, you'll find this book a valuable reference regardless of the assignment or task you are working on.
Worthy Entertainment: Most books put you to sleep, this book keeps you awake. From parameterized duck sizes to polymorphic hippos, the book is filled with entertaining diagrams, examples and exercises. One will find him/herself revisiting the chapters just for the fun on it.
Certification Aid: Sun Microsystems lists this book as a "Supporting Material" for their Sun Certified (Java) Associate for the Java Platform Exam (CX-310-019). As president of the Tech Center Java User Group, supporting the field of aviation in Southern New Jersey, I can vouch for members of our group who have achieved this SCJA certification with assistance from this book, including myself. Our group gives Head First Java, 2nd Edition a total of (5 out of 5) Stars.
All in all, I consider this Head First Java, 2nd Edition's a must-have. Its catalog page is at http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/hfjava2/ and its retail price is $44.95.

Programming Jakarta Struts, 2nd Edition
ASIN: 0596000405 |
Amazon.com
Aimed at Web developers with some previous Java experience, Java Servlet Programming, Second Edition, offers a solid introduction to the world of Java development with Servlets and related technologies. Thoroughly revised and newly updated with over a half-dozen new chapters, this title brings an already useful text up to speed with some leading-edge material. It excels particularly in explaining how to program dynamic Web content using Java Servlets, with a fine introduction to all the APIs, programming techniques, and tips you will need to be successful with this standard.
Besides a useful guide to APIs, the book looks at a variety of techniques for saving session state, as well as showing how Servlets can work together to power Web sites. You will learn performance tips and ways to get Servlets to work together (like forwarding and redirection), plus the basics of database programming with JDBC, to build content with "live" data. A later chapter examines what's next for Servlets with the emerging Servlet 2.3 API standard. Importantly, the authors go over deploying and configuring Web applications by editing XML files, a must-have for successfully running Servlets in real applications.
Since the first edition of this title, the choices for Java Web developers have grown much richer. Many of the new chapters in this edition look at options beyond Servlets. Short sections on application frameworks such as Tea, WebMacro, the Element Construction Set (ECS), XMLC, and JavaServer Pages (JSP) let you explore what's out there for Java developers today with a survey of some current tools that can speed up creating new Web applications.
The text closes with reference sections on Servlet APIs (and other material) that will be useful for any working developer. Although Servlets are not the only game in town, they are still important tools for successful Web development. This updated edition shows you just how to do it with plenty of basic and advanced tips for taking full advantage of this powerful Java standard. --Richard Dragan
Topics covered:
- Overview and history of Java Servlets
- Fundamentals of HTTP
- Web applications (including deployment and configuration using XML files)
- The Servlet lifecycle (initializing, processing requests, cleanup, and caching)
- Multimedia content (images and compressed content)
- WAP and WML for wireless content
- Servlet session tracking techniques (hidden form fields, cookies, and URL rewriting)
- Security issues with Servlets (including certificates and SSL)
- Tutorial for JDBC and Java database programming
- Using applets and Servlets together
- Servlet collaboration
- Quick introduction to Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE)
- Internationalization issues
- Survey of third-party Servlet application frameworks and tools: Tea, WebMacro, the Element Contruction Set (ECS), XMLC, and JavaServer Pages (JSP)
- Miscellaneous tips for Servlets (including sending e-mail and using regular expressions)
- Description of the new Servlet 2.3 API spec
- Servlet API quick reference
Book Description
Servlets are an exciting and important technology that ties Java to the Web, allowing programmers to write Java programs that create dynamic web content. Java Servlet Programming covers everything Java developers need to know to write effective servlets. It explains the servlet lifecycle, showing how to use servlets to maintain state information effortlessly. It also describes how to serve dynamic web content, including both HTML pages and multimedia data, and explores more advanced topics like integrated session tracking, efficient database connectivity using JDBC, applet-servlet communicaton, interservlet communication, and internationalization. Readers can use the book's numerous real-world examples as the basis for their own servlets. The second edition has been completely updated to cover the new features of Version 2.2 of the Java Servlet API. It introduces chapters on servlet security and advanced communication, and also introduces several popular tools for easier integration of servlet technology with dynamic web pages. These tools include JavaServer Pages (JSP), Tea, XMLC, and the Element Construction Set. In addition to complete coverage of 2.2 specification, Java Servlet programming, 2nd Edition, also contains coverage of the new 2.3 final draft specification.

Excellent book on Servlets and Java.......2006-02-08
If you do not understand servlets and program in Java this book is for you. I found it very easy to read and comprehend right off the bat. The examples are excellent and you will get off writing servlets very quickly. It is somewhat shallow in complex examples but then again how complex are servlets. Some best practices and commercial examples could have helped a lot.
Excellent in-depth book.......2005-03-05
I completely agree with the 5-star positive reviews listed here. I saw a couple of new ones that were not so positive, so I wanted to voice my opinion.
This book is very well written - well structured, with in depth explanations, humor, good code examples. It can be used both as a tutorial and as a reference.
Even though it may be showing its age now in a couple of places (e.g. Tapestry is not mentioned, uses JDK 1.0 and 1.1 for the examples), it is still very good. It paints a complete picture, so one ends up with understanding of the principles and architecture - which is what matters - for the updated APIs there is always JavaDOC.
I don't know how suitable it is for beginners, but for an experienced programmer it is a thoroughly enjoyable read - once I started it I couldn't stop until I finished (I didn't actually type the examples - that isn't necessary for understanding the material) .
Nicely Done.......2004-12-05
This book's examples in later chapters may be a bit much for the beginner, but it does a good job of covering thing very well. Good coverage of various protocols, etc.
ok book, not the best tutorial.......2004-10-19
I found this book to be semi helpful. It would have been nice if it was more tutorial like. The examples also were not the most straightforward. The book does cover alot though.
OK for beginners.......2004-05-16
I wouldn't say this is an excellent book, but it's not bad. The book covers good fundamentals in its first 8 chapters for those beginning Servlets. The book also covers some useful information on JDBC and Java Server Pages. There's also some additional coverage on Applet-Servlet communication, Internationalization and Tea & WebMacro application frameworks. However some topics like JavaBeans, SSL, Filters, deployment descriptors and XML were too brief and should have been given some depth. Another dissappointment is that all examples are based on API 2.2 but not 2.3!!. The Appendix just touches on new features of API 2.3 with also a separate listing of API 2.3.
It's been 8 mths since I purchased this book. I'd suggest that starters either wait for the next edition or get something that is based on Servlet API 2.3.

If you've adopted Java as your organizational language, you're probably using, or planning to use, some sort of multitier design to maximize maintainability while making your data store accessible to as many applications as possible. The Jakarta engine ranks as the interface server of choice in that environment, and the Jakarta Struts Framework 1.1 makes it far easier to implement multitier information systems. Programming Jakarta Struts is the best how-to documentation around--in print or on the Internet--on the subject of using Struts to their greatest potential. Chuck Cavaness's book is comprehensive, detailed, critical of its subject where appropriate, and generally invaluable to anyone implementing the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern in Java with the assistance of Struts.
Thankfully, Cavaness opens with an overview of the MVC pattern with a focus on how you're meant to implement it under Struts. For anyone thinking that implementing MVC sounds like more trouble than it's worth, this clarifies why such design usually pays off in the long run. After that, it's into the particulars, which include code listings (lots of them, delightfully commented) and crystal-clear block diagrams that show the flow of messages among objects. There are also many database schema charts that show how the authors structure data in the storefront and shopping cart application that spans the whole of this volume. --David Wall
Topics covered: The Jakarta Struts Framework 1.1 and how to use it to implement the Model-View-Controller (MVC) software design pattern. All the important features of Struts 1.1 get attention, including exception handling, the validation framework, internationalization, logging, and templating with the Tiles framework.
Book Description
While the look and feel of an enterprise web application is certainly important, developers usually find themselves spending far too much time on the front-end presentation before they can get to coding the good stuff--the business logic at the heart of the program. Jakarta Struts addresses this issue by combining Java Servlets, Java ServerPages (JSP), custom tags, and messaging resources (like Java Message Service) into a unified, re-usable framework. The result is a cooperative, synergistic platform that's efficient and suitable for independent developers, large development teams, and everyone in between. The Struts Framework has become a highly popular open source project, but there's still woefully little documentation on the technology. What does exist is far too basic and lacks critical information for developers like you writing today's complex web applications. The revised and expanded Programming Jakarta Struts, 2nd Edition covers everything the successful earlier edition did--including an overview of the concepts involved in writing web applications; installation and configuration instructions for getting Struts up and running; a thorough discussion of how Struts implements the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm (known as the Model 2 approach) and how to interface with that pattern in your own applications; Logging, Validation, and Exception Handling with Struts; using Tiles; writing internationalization and localization code using Struts; and practical, real-world best practices for web applications--as well as plenty more: now fully up to date with Struts 1.1, this edition covers the latest material on tag libraries and the new JavaServerFaces (JSF) APIs and even includes all-new chapters on JSF, JSTL/EL, and security. With each enterprise system he s developed, author Chuck Cavaness has spent many grueling hours learning invaluable lessons about Struts and figuring out the dos and the don'ts of building web applications. He saves you time and headaches by sharing that invaluable real-world experience here, with his realistic, practical, here's how to do it approach to using the Struts Framework to its fullest potential.
Customer Reviews:
Not a tutorial - Don't buy if you want to learn struts.......2006-08-10
This book should not be viewed as a tutorial. If you know nothing about struts and you want to learn, do not buy this book. You will only confuse yourself.
It makes a great reference once you already know how to use struts, but you cannot learn struts from this book - at least how to code an app.
Simply put, the author does not write this as a tutorial. It does have a running example but it is not a learning book.
Thorough Review.......2006-06-21
The previous book I had on Struts did a poor job of... well, everything. It is called "The Struts Framework" and the main reason I bought it was because it was a manageable 150 pages long. (Am I the only one tired of several hundred page tech books?)
This bably logs in at around 400 pages and does a far better job of explaining what Struts is all about - both fundamentally and specifically. I read the first few introductory chapters and then just checked out the areas I was intrested in. The concepts were presented clearly and the corresponding examples weren't overly complex.
Probably the biggest downside to this book is that it covers Struts 1.1, and today Struts is at 1.2.9, which means 1.3 can't be far away. (Man, writing tech books and then keeping them up-to-date has got to be one tough job!)
Convoluted and difficult to understand.......2006-05-11
Usually I consult Amazon for a book reference. This time I decided to buy this book simply because it's O'REILLY.
Well...I was wrong. While the author writes well and clear, I believe it was address to the wrong audience (for struts experts.) I found the examples to be very convoluted, and difficult to understand.
It also appears as if deadline pressures influenced the construction of this book. (but that's my assumption)
2 stars is best to reflect this book.
Guzman, Dror
If you like concepts buy this one, good book.......2006-03-17
Great book to learn about struts concepts. I got the book trying to follow a logical sequence buy I found a lot of theory. Very helpful for a begginer who wants to learn J2EE and struts or for a teacher. You need to complement your learning activities with a tutorial. Try the Kurniawans's then this book.
Good for general understanding of Struts.......2006-02-15
I am using this book to come up to speed on Struts for a project where some consultants built screens and set up some rudimentary Struts programs just to make the screens work. This is what I've decided about this book based on my use of it as a reference book.
This is a good book to use if you need to gain a general understanding of Struts. It is good for the programmer who is experienced with Java, including some knowledge of Beans and Servlets, and also some familiarity with the way XML is used with web applications. The book explains the use of XML specifically for configuring Struts, but it leaves out some of the very basic details. It does the same with Beans and Servlets. It's a book about Struts though, so that makes sense.
I am giving it 3 stars based on the fact that it has helped me understand the concepts. If I reviewed the book based on how much it helped me implement Struts successfully, I'd give it 2 stars. The problem I have with this book is the lack of examples now that I have the concept. If you're looking for a good book of examples, look elsewhere.
Customer Reviews:
Should be 5-stars.......2002-06-26
I have some programming experience from college in c and some post-graduation experience as an asp coder at a small startup. I had also done some jsp coding at that startup, but when it came time to go back and make my own jsp pages without an office full of people to answer my questions and provide me with code templates to work inside of, I was lost. This book is a very gentle introduction to servlets and tries very hard to be thorough. Definitely 5 stars for somebody who is new to servlets.
First-rate!.......2002-04-03
This book is just what a technical book should be. The exposition is clear and comprehensive; the layout-typesetting is very easy on the eyes; and the author has a pleasant though no nonsense style that makes this a pleasure to work with.
The book provides good background material for the different topics it covers, without spoon feeding or "dumbing down." It goes on to cover advanced topics -- threads, JDBC, JSP -- decently. It doesn't try to be the "be all to end all" regarding these topics, but instead gives the reader a very solid introduction, and enough code to accomplish something worthwhile.
I have this book, and the book from O'Reilly; and though I would recommend both, if I had to choose one, this book would win -- no contest!
Good read and a good reference.......2002-02-01
I found this book to be a very good buy. The first few chapters that go over the basic principals behind the internet and web development were well written and informative. But I can see that a more senior developer will probably already know most of it. I usually have a hard time finding a book that falls in the middle between novice user and hard core expericended developer But with this book, it hits the middle spot perfectly.
I'm currently developing using jsp's and servlets and this book has been a good reference to me as well.
Great Starters Guide.......2001-10-16
Without knowing much about internet programming or servlets, with this book I was able to get up to speed quickly on both subjects. It includes an excellent review of internet technologies as well as great coverage of servlets and JSP. And, unlike some books I've seen, all of the code examples actually compile and run!
Good introduction to servlet programming.......2001-07-09
Before this book, I had no idea what a Java servlet is. Well, this book made sure that I understand it fully. The author took time out to make the book user-friendly for people wanting to learn this subject. I also found it tremendously helpful in learning about JSP. This book is a must-have for anyone wanting to excel their knowledge about server-side programming.

For Java developers, download time and execution performance significantly limit the practical sphere of Java applets. Server-side Java is the key solution. Developing Java Servlets presents this important technology for proficient Java developers; however, don't look here for a primer to the base Java language.
While the book includes numerous Java code examples, the lack of a companion CD-ROM is disappointing. And while there is a reference to the publisher's Web site, it wasn't easy to find the URL in the book. The writing is also a bit choppy in places.
To illustrate many of the concepts in the book, a complete sample application is presented. The author uses an online movie catalog system as the book's case study. This example includes database access, user interface implementation, and simple shopping basket features to put the technology in good perspective.
Developing Java Servlets expects readers to have expertise in Java and a basic understanding of object-oriented programming going in. As long as you have this background, it is a solid manual to the cross-platform server processing architecture. --Stephen W. Plain
Topics covered: Development environment, communication details of servlets, and using servlets to access databases with the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) architecture.

The best Servlets & JSP's book.......2002-02-08
I have 5 books about Servlets and/or JSP's including the disapointed JavaServerPages and Java Servlet Programming both from o'reilly.
This is the best of all, all you need to know is Java, that's all. If you need to develop a Servlet project this book puts you on the road in the first 130 pages. Then if you want to have a better understanding you can read the rest of the book. The book has 24 chapters and 7 apendix and each chapter covers a topic in a very easy and comprehensive way with out confusing references like the o'reilly books that make you feel stupid.
More over this book has three complete JSP examples so well written that you can use part of the code for your own projects.
Great Book For Learning Servlet API.......2002-01-25
Hi,
This is great book if you want to learn Java Servlet API. If you have little bit experience in Java then this is the best book to start with Servlets.
Thanks,
Great Update to the First Edition!.......2001-06-26
This book is well put together, and is a good reference for Servlets and JSPs. The first edition was a bit outdated and irrelevant, so this book is much appreciated. The source code is still not up on the publisher'ssite... .
Quick guide to the server-side.......2001-05-13
I was pleased to learn so quickly about server-side Java. This book is called servlets but also handles interesting topics like JSP, RMI and Corba. Those topics are very brief, though. Otherwise this book would have been ten times the size.
It does have mistakes that only attentive readers might catch. It was a bit annoying that all these re-usable components were explained, Chpater 4 about the HTML Objects could be completely skipped without harm. A CD-rom containing this code could be handy. Perhaps they can do so when re-printing.
I quickly learned to make servlets so it's a good book for it. It does require you to have some expertise in Java, but if you want to write servlets then you should already have that.
