<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia"><I>Much</I> better than any other
Java book I’ve seen. Make that “by an order of magnitude”...
very complete, with excellent right-to-the-point examples and intelligent, not
dumbed-down, explanations ... In contrast to many other Java books I found it to
be unusually mature, consistent, intellectually honest, well-written and
precise. IMHO, an ideal book for studying Java. <B>Anatoly Vorobey, Technion
University, Haifa, Israel</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">One of the absolutely best
programming tutorials I’ve seen for any language. <B>Joakim Ziegler, FIX
sysop</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">Thank you for your wonderful,
wonderful book on Java. <B>Dr. Gavin Pillay, Registrar, King Edward VIII
Hospital, South Africa</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">Thank you again for your awesome
book. I was really floundering (being a non-C programmer), but your book has
brought me up to speed as fast as I could read it. It’s really cool to be
able to understand the underlying principles and concepts from the start, rather
than having to try to build that conceptual model through trial and error.
Hopefully I will be able to attend your seminar in the not-too-distant future.
<B>Randall R. Hawley, Automation Technician, Eli Lilly &
Co.</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">The best computer book writing I
have seen. <B>Tom Holland</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">This is one of the best books
I’ve read about a programming language... Chapter 16 on design patterns is
one of the most interesting things I’ve read in a long time. <B>Ilan
Finci, graduate student and teaching assistant, Institute of Computer Science,
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">The best book ever written on Java.
<B>Ravindra Pai, Oracle Corporation, SUNOS product line</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">This is the best book on Java that
I have ever found! You have done a great job. Your depth is amazing. I will be
purchasing the book when it is published. I have been learning Java since
October 96. I have read a few books, and consider yours a “MUST
READ.” These past few months we have been focused on a product written
entirely in Java. Your book has helped solidify topics I was shaky on and has
expanded my knowledge base. I have even used some of your explanations as
information in interviewing contractors to help our team. I have found how much
Java knowledge they have by asking them about things I have learned from reading
your book (e.g. the difference between arrays and Vectors). Your book is great!
<B>Steve Wilkinson, Senior Staff Specialist, MCI
Telecommunications</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">Great book. Best book on Java I
have seen so far. <B>Jeff Sinclair, Software Engineer, Kestral
Computing</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">Thank you for <I>Thinking in
Java</I>. It’s time someone went beyond mere language description to a
thoughtful, penetrating analytic tutorial that doesn’t kowtow to The
Manufacturers. I’ve read almost all the others–only yours and
Patrick Winston’s have found a place in my heart. I’m already
recommending it to customers. Thanks again. <B>Richard Brooks, Java Consultant,
Sun Professional Services, Dallas</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">Other books cover the WHAT of Java
(describing the syntax and the libraries) or the HOW of Java (practical
programming examples). <I>Thinking in Java</I> is the only book I know that
explains the WHY of Java; why it was designed the way it was, why it works the
way it does, why it sometimes doesn’t work, why it’s better than
C++, why it’s not. Although it also does a good job of teaching the what
and how of the language, <I>Thinking in Java</I> is definitely the thinking
person’s choice in a Java book. <B>Robert S. Stephenson</B>
</FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">Thanks for writing a great book.
The more I read it the better I like it. My students like it, too. <B>Chuck
Iverson</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">I just want to commend you for your
work on <I>Thinking in Java</I>. It is people like you that dignify the future
of the Internet and I just want to thank you for your effort. It is very much
appreciated. <B>Patrick Barrell, Network Officer Mamco-QAF Mfg.
Inc.</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">Most of the Java books out there
are fine for a start, and most just have beginning stuff and a lot of the same
examples. Yours is by far the best advanced thinking book I’ve seen.
Please publish it soon! ... I also bought <I>Thinking in C++</I> just because I
was so impressed with <I>Thinking in Java</I>. <B>George Laframboise, LightWorx
Technology Consulting, Inc.</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">I wrote to you earlier about my
favorable impressions regarding your <I>Thinking in C++</I> (a book that stands
prominently on my shelf here at work). And today I’ve been able to delve
into Java with your e-book in my virtual hand, and I must say (in my best Chevy
Chase from “Modern Problems”) “I like it!” Very
informative and explanatory, without reading like a dry textbook. You cover the
most important yet the least covered concepts of Java development: the whys.
<B>Sean Brady</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">Your examples are clear and easy to
understand. You took care of many important details of Java that can’t be
found easily in the weak Java documentation. And you don’t waste the
reader’s time with the basic facts a programmer already knows. <B>Kai
Engert, Innovative Software, Germany</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">I’m a great fan of your
<I>Thinking in C++</I> and have recommended it to associates. As I go through
the electronic version of your Java book, I’m finding that you’ve
retained the same high level of writing. Thank you! <B>Peter R.
Neuwald</B></FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">VERY well-written Java book ... I
think you’ve done a GREAT job on it. As the leader of a Chicago-area Java
special interest group, I’ve favorably mentioned your book and website
several times at our recent meetings. I would like to use <I>Thinking in
Java</I> as the basis for a part of each monthly SIG meeting, in which we review
and discuss each chapter in succession. <B>Mark Ertes</B> </FONT><BR></P></DIV>
<DIV ALIGN="LEFT"><P><FONT FACE="Georgia">I really appreciate your work and
your book is good. I recommend it here to our users and Ph.D. students.
