"Best Java book ever!!! I have read a number of
programming books for various languages, and this one
is by far the best. If you are new to Java, don't even
consider another book until after you have read this
one."

"I used your Java 6 book for a training done in Salina, Kansas. It was a huge success. [Compared to other courseware I've used], your examples and code are more hands-on, and they work!"
Robert Vaughn, PhD, Trainer/University Instructor, Iowa
"If I'd seen this book first, I would not have wasted money (and time) on 6 other books! This one is highly organized, clear, and very effective as a learning tool."

"Murach's Java SE 6 is now my go-to source
for reference and learning, well above and beyond other
books in my collection. I just wish that all
the books on the bazillion different frameworks and
technologies in the Java Enterprise Edition space were
as good, thorough, easy, and enjoyable as Murach's.
"
Jeff Salter, Developer/Java Enthusiast, California
"Murach's treatment of OOP concepts impressed me. By displaying these concepts in a real-world application, it reinforces your learning heads, leaps, bounds, and miles over OOP object models of cats, widgets, etc. Best of all the code examples work!"

"A note to fellow mainframers: Several times I have started out on the noble task of trying to learn some object-oriented programming language such as C++ or Java [using other books], only to get utterly lost and give up, fighting the despair that I would ever learn any of this stuff....
Finally, with Murach's Java, I am writing programs using weird and bizarre things such as classes, objects, constructors, methods, inheritance, and polymorphism, and I am actually understanding what is going on. Even more shocking, it is fun!"
Ron Tiemens, Software Engineering Consultant
"As a UNIX/C/C++/Python programmer, this book has allowed me entrance into the Java world. I went to the Java Conference and was overwhelmed by all the choices, but this book allows learning of the different methods and how to put Java together. It also is accurate and the programs actually work (which is not always the case with a programming book...)."

"I love your Java book. It cuts right to the essential information, providing the perfect balance between too many details and too little information. Example apps are incredible."
Steve, Programmer, Denver, Colorado
"I have read several Java books, and I have found yours to be the most practical and helpful by far. The exercises present real examples of not only how to approach the development of Java applications, but also how to go about maintaining existing code—as a Java professional would."
James Roach, Applications Developer, San Diego, California
"This book rocks. One day trying to learn a new topic, I referenced the official book for my advanced Java class. After about 15 minutes of digging I thought, 'For cryin' out loud. Just tell me how to do it and show me an example!' Picked up Murach's Java and sure enough, it did just that."
Posted at an online bookseller by a student who used Murach's Java in a beginning Java course
"I think this book is AMAZING. This is my 3rd Java book and I am impressed at every angle. The layout is straight forward, easy to navigate, compact and to the point, and very professional. There isn't all the fluff that is associated with most beginner books (Heads Up series especially), and you will be learning the core PLUS writing your own miniprograms nearly from the start.
"If you want to get straight to the point and learn real-world Java, this is the book for you."
