Learning a complex new language is no easy task especially when
it s an object-oriented computer programming language like Java.
You might think the problem is your brain. It seems to have a mind
of its own, a mind that doesn't always want to take in the dry,
technical stuff you're forced to study. The fact is your brain
craves novelty. It's constantly searching, scanning, waiting for
something unusual to happen. After all, that's the way it was built
to help you stay alive. It takes all the routine, ordinary, dull
stuff and filters it to the background so it won't interfere with
your brain's real work--recording things that matter. How does your
brain know what matters? It's like the creators of the Head First
approach say, suppose you're out for a hike and a tiger jumps in
front of you, what happens in your brain? Neurons fire. Emotions
crank up. Chemicals surge. That's how your brain knows.And that's
how your brain will learn Java. "Head First Java" 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. And, despite its playful
appearance, Head First Java is serious stuff: a complete
introduction to object-oriented programming and Java. You'll learn
everything from the fundamentals to advanced topics, including
threads, network sockets, and distributed programming with RMI. And
the new. second edition focuses on Java 5.0, the latest version of
the Java language and development platform. Because Java 5.0 is a
major update to the platform, with deep, code-level changes, even
more careful study and implementation is required. So learning the
Head First way is more important than ever. If you've read a Head
First book, you know what to expect--a visually rich format
designed for the way your brain works. If you haven't, you're in
for a treat. You'll see why people say it's unlike any other Java
book you've ever read.By exploiting how your brain works, "Head
First Java" compresses the time it takes to learn and
retain--complex information. Its unique approach not only shows you
what you need to know about Java syntax, it teaches you to think
like a Java programmer. If you want to be bored, buy some other
book. But if you want to understand Java, this book's for you.
