Java 7 for Absolute Beginners
Author(s): Jay Bryant
Publisher: Apress, Year: 2011
Description:
Java 7 Complete Beginners programming introduces the latest open source Java software package for the new core. His mind is based on earth knowledge and its fulfillment — it gives all the odds and ends the need to continue programming in Java explicitly.
It feels as if everybody today composes software or applications for Ios, BlackBerry, and the undertaking — that's where the cash is. How would they do it anyway? All things considering, its best to continue with studying Java, still one of the most common programming dialects around nowadays. True, believe it or not.
This reads:
Shows Java language enhancement that everybody can understand, making you the most ideal launch
Gives simple, bit by bit models that make learning easy and encourage you to get the ideas without complaining
Offers straightforward portrayals of programming and architecture with the goal of making the app going as fast as possible
What you'll say
How a Computer shapes programs
Compose a Java Program
Settle a problem program
Choose and monitor the knowledge structures which best match your motivation
Make an Interface in Java
Instructions for making a Java Program lively
For example, propelled subjects string the executives and recursion that any software engineer will need before long
Whom is this book for?
If in the title this book wasn't for "Absolute Beginners," it would get a marginally better score-not that much better, but few books are all poor.
How is it that writers believe that writing a book to teach beginners programming is merely a matter of "slowly speaking" I don't really ask, because it's generally what's going on. In this case the book tries slowly enough to pose concepts but it struggles. The problem is made worse by the chaotic interface that complicates even basic items.
A true "pure novice" has no idea what programming is all about and has no understanding of how a program does its job, and definitely has no higher principles like loops, selects, data or objects. But you need to spend a lot of time explaining not just how things work, but why it's important. Then this book follows the approach of "showing them the coding and they'll understand."

Chapter 1 starts by letting the user load the JDK and Eclipse. That is not a reasonable choice. Eclipse may be a good forum for the professional and maybe it's so good that the beginner can automatically step up to it later, but for the beginner it's not a good option. This is a tricky IDE to use before you are used to its features. Besides, it doesn't come with a drag-and - drop UI template, which is one of the best ways to enable a novice to grasp artifacts, processes, property and happenings. Yet again the programmer may choose to avoid a drag-and - drop editor in favour of programming after the novice stage has passed, but at the outset it makes it even simpler and encourages GUI applications to be created. The book has to continue with console applications without it and this is both daunting and unrewarding.
As we go past Chapter 1, the book sinks into the pit of pursuing the kind of description that is best adapted to a reference work. So we start with Chapter 2 on syntax and talk about classes, fields, constructors of methods and so on, all without much inspiration and long before an actual beginner may have much idea what is involved in constructing an algorithm to just add a few numbers. Chapter 3 goes on to data forms, so it's not straightforward to make it into "container groups" so arrays, chapter 4 is on operators, so note that we haven't yet seen an if or a about it. Furthermore, Chapter 5 gets power flow and gets the entire lot done in one go-if, then, turn, loop, and even split, etc. It will literally leave the starter warm and dry. This is no way of introducing the beginner's programming.
Chapter 8 deals with particles and since this is the first chapter about particles you 'd be right to be shocked that it explores polymorphism and granularity.
Chapter 7 launches the Swing library and we have a user interface to think about for the first time but it's all too easy and confusing again. Chapter 8 deals with file handling and Chapter 9 XML-this is not a problem for beginners. Chapter 10 is about humorous animation, which should have been added sooner in the right text.
Chapter 11 addresses debugging, 12 video games, 13 garbage collection, 14 recursion, 15 generics, and regular expressions. From the mad dash to the finish line, you can tell that this is a book that feels it's necessary to cover the ground-unfortunately it packs all that technical stuff into 290 pages in total.
This may also have some interest for a programmer who needs to move to Java-but the design is sloppy even in this situation, and the explanations are too complicated. There are also instances where it's confusing on what a facility 's function is. It may be Fine for the novice because they will not pursue it higher level stuff anyway, but this matters to the more professional.
If you're an absolute beginner then you might argue that Java isn't a good starting place and this book seems to be proof of that. But it's not really Java that's at fault, but the organization, presentation, and selection of tools that make the language look much harder than it needs to be. Publishers ought to understand that writing a book for beginners isn't enough to be a skillful and competent programmer. This requires a fair grasp of what principles novices need to know, how to get them through without undue difficulties and an idea of what should be saved for later.
This book has absolutely nothing to recommend to the full beginner, and very little to the more general reader.

Whom is this book for?
All! The book is about someone trying to find out how to build venture or portable apps or software using Android or BlackBerry, plus even more. No prior programming knowledge is important.
