About this product

Product Information

This text is an exploration into computer science, programming principles and advanced features of the Java language. The text is useful for anyone interested in learning or reinforcing introductory programming concepts and beginning to take advantage of many of the exciting attributes of the Java language. Now updated with Java 1.5, Big Java, Second Edition remains the definitive introduction to programming. Horstmann, in his extensive teaching and industry experience, has always emphasized that those who truly want to study the discipline of Computer Science and the art of programming must, before writing a line of code, first learn to think like a problem solver. With this in mind, the first part of the text is focused not on programming as an abstract exercise, but on fundamental principles of programming and problem solving. Java is both the tool to be mastered and the key to understanding basic computer science concepts. The second part of this text introduces advanced concepts of the Java programming language. Assuming an understanding of programming concepts at this point, the author offers the reader an in-depth look into how Java relates to searching and sorting, data structures, multithreading, networking, database connectivity, XML, and Java Server Pages. In addition, the author also offers many reference resources in the appendices, including the Java Library, HTML, running applets, and number systems. Throughout the text, readers will find notes that cover historical and social aspects of computing and capsule introductions to advanced topics of computer science. These optional features provide valuable context for those interested in going more deeply into the subject.

  • Big Java 2nd edition

    Bought the 2nd edition of Big java by Cay Horstmann as recommended reading for a class at Uni. What a waste of money, it hardly differs from the first edition. There are much better books to start reading if you are a beginner, if this is on your uni course, use the library book, do not buy the 2nd edition unless you have too. The Chapter headers are a different names in the 2nd edition but basically its the same stuff inside each chapter as the 1st edition. Its an expensive book and not once have i referred back to it, not like other computer books i have. If you have either edition in your college or uni library use them because after your module has finished you will not open this book again. IMHO Conclusion Very interesting chapters and lots to learn about java plus practicals to ...

  • Big Java is Excellent!

    I REALLY like this book. The book was optional for my college class. I'm so glad I bought it. I have used it for almost every assignment. It is a great reference tool and is very well organized. I don't know how I would be passing my class without it. Great book!

  • Its okay

    It was an okay book it just took awhile to get to the main point of the chapeter or section...etc.It is extremley long and annoying to read. I only read the first chapter b/c I soon dropped the class. The class is the reason why I bought the book in the first place... personally my teacher was a lot more helpfull than the book... But I cant really complain taking that I only read 1 Chapter.

  • javaProgramming() bigJava

    The Book is awsome, interesting ,and detailed.I got it no only because it was a requirement for the class but also because is a good source for java programming. A book like this one will alway come handy.

  • Big Java by Cay Horstmann (2005)

    I had two different java classes and two different books, so far I love Big Java more because it is unberstandable and lots of examples that I could follow to write a program of my need.
