"If you're a Java virgin like I was before reading this book, then you're going to love it. I had a development environment up & running within half an hour and was dabbling with code 15 minutes after that!"
Andy Bonner, vbcity.com
"One of the things I really like is that this book uses NetBeans as the IDE to teach Java to the next generation of programmers. A lot of books on Java focus on the language itself. This would have the appearance that an IDE plays no role in learning Java. Any professional programmer will tell you that an IDE is absolutely essential in making you more productive. The choice of NetBeans as a tool to teach Java demonstrates its ease of use with beginners."
John Yeary, Java Evangelist
"Murach's Java Programming is an excellent source for learning core Java and object-oriented programming with Java. It gets you going with Java using examples relevant in the business world."
Jamie McMahon, DreamInCode.net
"Ever have someone come in your office with a Java question, and you reach for a certain book that you know has the answer in it? When needing assistance with the core features of Java, Murach's Java Programming is the resource that supplies these answers, both quickly and completely. If this book isn't on your bookshelf, you should get it there."
Robert Liguori, Tech Center Java User Group
"Another thing I like is the exercises at the end of each chapter. These exercises are a great way to reinforce the main points of each chapter and force you to get your hands dirty."
Hien Luu, SD Forum/Java SIG
"Murach's Java Programming continues the Murach tradition of publishing only the best training books available.
"The style is very conducive to learning with their dual-page approach, with the left page being what a qualified instructor would be saying from the front of a classroom and on the right, the information that the instructor would be projecting on a screen. While reading the left page you can almost visualize the instructor's laser pointer directing you to key information on the right page."

"I'm reading the part of the book that discusses the nio package. The information is so clear, it beats what I read in the Java tutorials on the Oracle web site. Once again, a Murach book adds clarity that's hard to find elsewhere."
