It was an excellent book. Very well written and easy to understand. Since then, I've picked classes based on the text book. This book is used in my CS I class and I love it. I tried taking Java last semester and was just lost. The book was absolutely horrible. No logic, no good examples or explanations. I could probably teach myself using books by Gaddis. In fact, I probably learned more reading the book than going to class. Yes, I actually READ the book, sometimes more than once for review. It's rare that I take a book like this to bed, but I do. My instructor didn't require the programming exercises at the end of each chapter, which I think was a HUGE disservice to us, but I do them on my own to help reinforce what I'm learning. One thing it lacks that I liked in the C++ book, is one big project that students complete as they progress through the book, applying the concepts they learn. But I can Google for project ideas online for extra practice. The companion myprogramminglab is a great idea, but the execution is kind of poor. The fill-in questions are annoying because it's difficult to guess exactly which word the test designer is looking for and you have to be exact. I found myself frustrated often. Multiple choice would be better if they're going to be that precise. It's unfortunate that Pearson doesn't respond to comments through the site. Overall, again, excellent book. I highly recommend it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gaddis does it again. Kindle Version Available After Classes Start *by L***3 on Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2013* EDIT: Kindle edition released on February 6th. Sadly most students were forced to buy the physical book at the start of the spring semester. The sample covers the first chapter. The print replica looks great on the retina iPad with support for annotations, notes, etc. Looks like a decent investment, however, remember the appendices are not included. A $26 6 month subscription must be purchased from the companion site.This book is required for my Java 1 and 2 classes. I am about a month into the semester and this text is absolutely amazing! Each chapter of the book is laid out in such a way that makes learning Java a breeze. I also used Gaddis's Starting Out with C++ title which compared with this text has really helped me become a better programer and critical thinker.Each chapter lays out the next set of content to learn and introduces it a good pace ensuring these is no room for confusion. At the end of each chapter, there are about 20 program problems to work on that incorporate everything up to that point. These programs are amazing practice.My only complaint with the text is that the appendices are available online at a separate cost for 6 months of time access. If a new book was purchased, an access code is provided for this 6 months of access.The content can be saved locally so this isn't too much of an issue unless buying used.--Great coding book! I am hoping for Starting Out with Objective-C book in the future! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ best java book i ve read *by J***M on Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2022* bought it for school work --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8989327-starting-out-with-java-from-control-structures-through-objects-plus](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/8989327-starting-out-with-java-from-control-structures-through-objects-plus) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
