Book Review: Head First Java, 2nd Edition
Head First Java takes a drastically different tack toward learning the Java programming language than O'Reilly's other book on the subject, Learning Java. Where the latter takes a fast-paced, highly intellectual approach to the subject, Head First Java is more creative and playful. It's great for learning the Java language, even if it isn't very good at teaching people how to program with it.
Head First Java, 2nd Edition is a relatively quick read, considering its size. The language is casual and easy to read, and the drawings, diagrams, and examples make it very easy for a moderately experienced programmer to understand.
This book doesn't just show you the language and how it is used, but it also encourages readers to program securely and with attention to proper form. Head First Java, 2nd Edition specializes in teaching procedural programmers how to live and work with an object-oriented language.
