Java: A Detailed Approach to Practical Coding (Step-By-Step Java)

That's an Excellent Book.Developer/Programmer should have this book in their tool kit. If you like coding, definitely you like this book. For building your problem solving, it is very good. There are detailed instructions, a parts list, schematic and picture of the board. I like that there was an emphasis on best way of coding. I also like how they explained in detail how to solve a problem. I bet it is worth to buy! high quality. All the best,

This second book in this author's Java series gives step-by-step instructions with examples in a range of situations. Methods and proper syntax are made easier to follow as examples are shown all along the way. This book will help you learn by doing from defining methods and parameters to input and output. It's worth reading and keeping for future reference.

This is a great book to progress to once you finished the first book in the series, as this is an intermediate level book to further concepts of Java which was learned in the first book. As with all the other books authored by Nathan Clarke, this book to is full of practical examples to strengthen learning by doing. A great book for anyone interested in programming.

This book is a great way to learn Java and programming. Clearly written with examples that are easy to understand. I highly recommend this to anyone who has been mystified by other programming introductions! Great work Nathan!

Does anyone remember Cliff Notes? Yes, it was often used in lieu of reading the actual book, but some of us used Cliff Notes to gain insight into a particular work. It was the only way I came to understand Shakespeare! This book to me is like the Cliff Notes of Java Programming ESPECIALLY if you're coming into the subject with Zero Understanding. It's easy to read and isn't bogged down in too much jargon. It makes the world of programming accessible!

The code provided in this book works fine, but a lot of the "out put" the author wrote is incorrect. This is extremely frustrating to new programmers who are trying to learn. There is also very little content and the font is large. Most of the book are short examples of code with little in depth explanation.

I picked up this book (the series actually) to prepare for a job interview as a Java Developer. When I opened the book for the first time, I realized that I had been duped once again by these authors who write 120 page books with large margins in font size 21. There is such little content in this book that (1) you can probably get through it in 1-2 hours if you have any programming experience, and (2) you won't really learn much about any of the topics in enough depth to be useful in practice. Lesson learned: read the sample pages before ordering any book on Amazon. To be fair, paying $3 for the kindle version as a very fast read might be worth it, but don't waste your money on the paperback copy. Honestly, even if it were free, I still wouldn't invest the time to read it. I'm returning these right away. I know this sounds harsh, but that's my opinion. I'm tired of authors putting out poor quality and lazy work on Amazon.

The book was very step-by-step, which I really appreciated. I picked this one up because I'd read Nathan's coding guide on C#. In this book, he uses the same proven approach. He is very thorough with his explanations. Thanks for the help, Nathan!

this book has contents that is very basic and it is at the school level, the author has made no efforts in deleivering the quality content. It is not worth the cost and I want the book to be returned. the book has only 120 pages. I have never seen a worst book like this.
