Head First Java

by Kathy Sierra, Bert Bates & Trisha Gee

Despite its playful appearance, Head First Java is serious stuff: a complete introduction to object-oriented programming and Java, from the fundamentals to advanced topics.

It 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.
