This is the first book that I've read from the "Head First" series. I liked the approach that this book takes. It breaks up the concepts with real world examples and fun stuff like crossword puzzles. One of the other things I liked about this book was the way that it visually breaks up the usually monotonous instructional books with diagrams, funny pictures and humor. Sometimes instructional tech books can be so dry and dull. This book is definitely not that!




One word of advice, all the examples of the book are written in Java so it would be good to have a bit of experience with Java in order to really understand what the book is presenting.

"There are solid guidelines within the book which portray OOA as flexible in the real world - in a way which is much more readable than many OOA&D texts out there. For those unfamiliar with Head First Labs, this would be a novelty - for those familiar with Head First Labs, this is expected."
