Also, each module has sample programs that literally give students an order to follow as in: "Step-by-Step: 1. Create a new file called ..."

His module on Java Threading is so clear and consise that students can easily follow the concepts.

I found the book to be very easy to use, especially for whose only experience is in HTML and JavaScript, with no Object Oriented Programming. The book had me writing simple programs using statements, variables, and for loops, which is more than i can say for my instructor.... |
