Praise for the Head First approach and Head First Java™

“This stuff is so fricking good it makes me wanna WEEP! I’m stunned.”

Floyd Jones, BEA Systems

“Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates’ Head First Java transforms the printed page into the closest thing to a GUI you’ve ever seen. In a wry, hip manner, the authors make learning Java an engaging ‘what are they gonna do next’ experience.”

Warren Keuffel, Software Development Magazine (September 2003)

“...the only way to decide the worth of a tutorial is to decide how well it teaches. Head First Java excels at teaching. OK, I thought it was silly... then I realized that I was thoroughly learning the topics as I went through the book.”

“The style of Head First Java made learning, well, easier.”
