Head First Java puts a new twist on programming books. It uses wit to convey the basics of the Java language. The book presents java essentials in clear and concise examples. I especially liked the code examples with the “hand” written comments and arrows explaining how the code works and interacts. I liked the exercises and puzzles at the ends of the chapters that reinforce the concepts covered. I think that this would be an excellent book for teaching high school students the basics of java. It would definitely relate to them on their level. I would not recommend this book for serious/professional developers trying to learn java.
