The rather dated “casual” approach did not work for me. I got more from this series of videos based on the book: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrhzvIcii6GNjpARdnO4ueTUAVR9eMBpc

This book explains a lot of theory, but if you want a hands on approach to learning the java language, you might find this guide a bit redundant and boring

One of the best software development books I have read. After more than a decade of programming, it made me rethink the Object Oriented Programming discipline.

I am a n00b programmer but this book was very detailed and went over all the details to learning the java language and object oriented programming in general. Learned about concepts such as multithreading, generics, and networks which is more than I ever thought I would! Very fun read. The authors keep java entertaining and I laughed many times while reading this text. Highly recommend!

When I read this book the summer before my senior year of high school, I was curious about programming. But, I didn't really know where to start. Everything online confused me and I lacked fundamental knowledge. Head First Java was the most accessible technical book I've ever read. They use lots of images and stories to convey concepts that are notoriously hard to wrap your head around as a beginner programmer. And they work. Some of those images still come up in my head when I think about object oriented programming 4 years later. This book made my high school computer science classes and many of my freshman year computer science introductory courses redundant because a lot of time is spent in those trying to teach the same concepts that this book taught me in a few chapters. If you are just starting out, like I was, give this book a try. Really do all the exercises. Maybe it will give you the clarity and head start that it did for me.

Very good reference.

I bounced off Head First Java and decided the informal, jokey, playful HF approach didn't work for me; however, I gave it a second chance and purchased this book -- and wow, am I glad!

I have a work-based need to learn how to program in an object-oriented fashion (I've been pretty strictly a procedural Perl programmer for some years), and while I don't know that tackling design patterns is the typical first step for this, it's working well for me. I had two introductory programming courses in 2009-10 and the language of instruction was Java ... I've found it fairly easy to re-charge my Java background with this book, and move forward. Kudos!

I was skeptical of the Head First series before I read this book due to its busy look and feel, but I was pleasantly surprised. It has made me feel comfortable with the most used design patterns in record time where other books failed. I highly recommend this book for helping you design better object-based systems. Be sure to implement the examples as you read for better understanding.

Excellent book to understand Java

Fun to read book (for coding anyway). Not one you can sit down and curl up with, but the subject is approached in a more friendly and easy-to-digest format. Sometimes, I'd just like a more straightforward 'here it is' description, but the book helps you learn as long as you follow it's format.½

Ultimate book for beginners

This is an excellent book on design patterns!

I hated Java six years ago. Reading this in order to get myself back up to date on the subject, I've....upgrading to grudging respect. And it takes one hell of a book to accomplish that.

This is an excellent book. If ever there were a common sense way to depict conceptual ideas, this book definately hits the mark!

A Wonderful book barring the conventional approach.Gives a clear insight into JSP

Didactique, complet, facile à lire.½

This is an excellent introduction to design patterns, with plenty of pointers to further resources.

While the examples are given in Java, you can absolutely read this book without knowing any Java. I know because I don't know any Java. You will need to be familiar with programming in general and object-oriented programming specifically.

Informative.
