"Great book for learing Jave while having fun." according to MaggieM. This is a well written book with a great teaching approach. Using the game environment included on the book's DVD, I was able to write animated games without learning any computer graphics programming techniques. It made learning Java fun.. Michael said This book is perfect. It teaches you how I believe you SHOULD. This book is perfect. It teaches you how I believe you SHOULD be taught Java. For the price, it is 100% worth it. Keep in mind there is over 700 pages of material. I'm teaching myself Java, and this book really has proven to be quite useful. If I am working on a tutorial I found on the web or another book, I typically find myself referring back to this book for explanations; re

The companion DVD includes a game environment that is easily integrated into projects created with the popular Java Development Environments (Eclipse, NetBeans, and JCreator) and includes a set of executable student games to pique students’ interest by giving them a glimpse into their future capabilities. It has been used to teach programming to student whose majors are within an outside of the computing fields. Game programming is incorporated into the text in a way that does not compromise the amount of material traditionally covered in a basic or advanced programming course and permits instructors who are not familiar with game programming and computer graphics concept to realize their advantages. This is a Java textbook for beginnin
