Praise for other Head First books co-authored by Kathy and Bert

Amazon named Head First Servlets a Top Ten Editor’s Choice for Computer Books of 2004 (first edition)

Software Development Magazine named Head First Servlets and Head First Design Patterns finalists for the 15th Annual Product Excellence Awards

“I feel like a thousand pounds of books have just been lifted off of my head.”

Ward Cunningham, inventor of the Wiki and founder of the Hillside Group

“I laughed, I cried, it moved me.”

Dan Steinberg, Editor-in-Chief, java.net

“My first reaction was to roll on the floor laughing. After I picked myself up, I realized that not only is the book technically accurate, it is the easiest to understand introduction to design patterns that I have seen.”

Dr. Timothy A. Budd, Associate Professor of Computer Science at Oregon State University; author of more than a dozen books including C++ for Java Programmers

“Just the right tone for the geeked-out, casual-cool guru coder in all of us. The right reference for practical development strategies—gets my brain going without having to slog through a bunch of tired stale professor-speak.”

Travis Kalanick, Founder of Scour and Red Swoosh Member of the MIT TR100

“FINALLY - a Java book written the way I would’a wrote it if I were me. Seriously though - this book absolutely blows away every other software book I’ve ever read... A good book is very difficult to write... you have to take a lot of time to make things unfold in a natural, “reader oriented” sequence. It’s a lot of work. Most authors clearly aren’t up to the challenge. Congratulations to the Head First EJB team for a first class job!

Wally Flint

“I could not have imagined a person smiling while studying an IT book! Using Head First EJB materials, I got a great score (91%) and set a world record as the youngest SCBCD, 14 years.”

Afsah Shafquat (world’s youngest SCBCD)

“This Head First Servlets book is as good as the Head First EJB book, which made me laugh AND gave me 97% on the exam!”

Jef Cumps, J2EE consultant, Cronos
