What instructors say about our books...
"Your book is a hit with the students. In fact, this
semester I've heard complaints that our Internet programming
text isn't as easy to read as Murach's Java."
Bob Dushok, Luzerne County Community College, Pennsylvania
"I must say that you guys have saved me. I am trying to get a JavaScript class off of the ground and was responsible to create the curriculum. Now, I don't have to."
I. T., Web Designer/Cont. Ed. Instructor, Tulsa, Oklahoma
"I want to congratulate you on one of the best written books I've seen in the last few years.
"As a student of programming, I always sought texts with strong pedagogical approaches. I wanted the text to teach me in a logical manner, but also to lend itself as a concise reference when needed. And as an instructor for beginning business-oriented programming, I've always sought a text that used simple business examples that continuing education students could understand.
"Your text is EXACTLY how I'd write a text. As a publisher, you should be commended for your excellent approach and development of effective programming texts."
Keith Jefferies, Senior Instructor, Computers and Information Systems, UCLA Extension
"Excellent textbook! It has all I need and then some. Graduates comment that it is one of the best reference books on the job."
B. M., Program Chair, Computer Programming Department, Milford, Nebraska
"Your book reminds students of the best teacher they ever had. It is clear and real-world meaningful."
Ed Blackberg, Continuing Education Instructor, CUNY Baruch College
"You've made us happy campers! We're using many Murach
programming textbooks in our non-credit graduate courses
because of your great texts, instructor discs (critical
and important to text selection and instructor hiring,
and getting good reviews from students in the classroom),
and your TLC to us weary course developers and managers."
Raymond Kimball, Project Manager, TechLEAP/WebLEAP
Montgomery College, Gaithersburg, Maryland
"I haven't seen any book that can beat yours in making the material easy to understand."
University Professor, Oshkosh, Wisconsin
"All this morning as I worked with this book, I was thinking: What a tremendous resource this is—far better than any other book for any other course I've ever taught."
College Instructor, Portland, Oregon
"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, Chicago, Illinois
"I want to thank you for the great ASP.NET textbook that we're using this semester. The more I read it, the better it gets. I love the format too—you have a great concept of alternating pages between content and example."
Bob Dust, Instructor, Reynolds Community College, Richmond, Virginia
"I find your text to be concise, well-written, and the code and screen
shots make teaching the subject a good deal easier."
College Professor, South Carolina
"The Murach style is clean, very user-friendly and simple. The narrative is totally accurate and focuses on important issues. It is not dumbed down even though it is aimed at the beginning Java programmer. The layout is particularly attractive with frequent screen shots guiding the user. This book is a winner!"
Dr. Richard Wiener, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Object Technology; Associate Professor of Computer Science, University of Colorado, Colorado Springs
"I received your Visual Basic book today and have not been able to put it down! Once again, Murach & Associates has set the standard for computer training. This book is EXACTLY what I have been looking for to use in the classroom."
R. B., Instructor, Computer Science Department, St. Louis, Missouri
"I have been programming for over 20 years, and taught computer programming for 4 years. I've also conducted corporate training in programming. I can't say enough about the quality and clarity of your books. I have never seen textbooks so well written."
Joe Sweeney, Pima Community College, Tucson, Arizona
...and what students say
From a course evaluation: "A+ goes to whoever
selected the Murach book for this course."
"I purchased your book to prepare for my MS in Computer Science, and all I can say is 'Thank you!' Your book is very organized, clear, and concise. I will recommend it to classmates next semester, as I'm quite sure it's better than the University text."
"I had to buy your 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."
"I had an advantage over my classmates in my 2nd-level Java course, where the teacher assigned us only a text called Thinking in Java. I found that text less practical, organized, and clear in explanations, and continued to use your text [from my intro-level class] instead. My less fortunate classmates had to complete projects without it. Thanks for the additional help."
"I am taking a beginning Visual Basic class at the University of Phoenix. They use online Safari Books. I was getting frustrated as I could not find any good information that would help me more than a little.
"I went to the local bookstore,
paged through all the books they had on Visual Basic
.NET, and chose your book. I started at chapters 4 &
5—then went back and read the first 3 chapters.
THIS BOOK IS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR WITH THE INFORMATION
I NEED to get started on creating a Windows Form—not
just the controls but some sample coding statements.
LOVE THIS BOOK."
"The absolute best teaching text for Java among the gazillions of self-hyped tutorials and skills books on the market today."
