"At long last, a Java book written with understandable text, ready-to-run code, and some of the best exercises in print! As a Web Development instructor, I've seen many introductory Java books with text that reads like a translated technical specification sheet. This book has a no-nonsense style, with an expert perspective on the big picture."
Donna M. Dean, CTT, Senior Technical Instructor,
The Chubb Institute, Villa Park, Illinois
"This book is one of the finest I have seen in getting a person 'ramped up' quickly. I have to tell you that I first purchased another popular beginning book and found it to be convoluted, difficult to follow, and full of inane examples that were not applicable to the 'real world.' Your book is good because it allows one to be able to produce functional, practical programs in a relatively short period of time."
Martin D. Chicknavorian, Quality Assurance Engineer,

"I looked into Java about a year ago but was never able to find a
good book or tutorial. This book is it! I bought it a week
ago and I am already writing useful programs, not 'toys!' I understand the
syntax, the author does a GREAT JOB of explaining the terms, and there are
plenty of excellent examples."
Richard Cooper, Programmer
"I have read several Java books, and I have found yours to be the most practical and helpful by far. Thank you for writing a book from the business application developer's viewpoint.
James Roach, Applications Developer,

"I had to buy the Java book for a college class. Just a quick note to let you know that I LOVE the format, and wish we'd had Murach books for our C classes. The book is excellent, and I have recommended it to several programmers that I know."

Birmingham, Alabama
"Murach’s Beginning Java 2 is the best book on the subject
I have seen. I bought my first Murach book in 1987, have bought several
more over the years, and have never been disappointed. Thank you for
years of help."
Patrick Smith, Sr. Software Engineer,
Standard Register Co., Dayton, Ohio
"Most Java books either read like old Unix 'man pages' - dry and out of context - or fall into the 'learn anything in 10 minutes' category. Murach's Beginning Java 2 is a Java programming book that finally manages to get it right."
Professional Programmer,
Phoenix, Arizona
"This is the best Java beginning text I have ever reviewed…and I have reviewed more than 50 of them. In fact, this is the first computer science text I have felt so strongly about that I'd be willing to write a testimonial."
Ron Peal, Northeastern Illinois University,
