《Head First Java》是本完整的面向对象（object-oriented，OO）程序设计和Java的学习指导。此书是根据学习理论所设计的，让你可以从学习程序语言的基础开始一直到包括线程、网络与分布式程序等项目。最重要的，你会学会如何像个面向对象开发者一样去思考。
而且不只是读死书，你还会玩游戏、拼图、解谜题以及以意想不到的方式与Java交互。在这些活动中，你会写出一堆真正的Java程序，包括了一个船舰炮战游戏和一个网络聊天程序。
Head First系列的图文并茂学习方式能让你快速地在脑海中掌握住知识。敞开心胸准备好学习这些关键性的主题：
*Java程序语言
*面向对象程序开发
*Swing图形化接口
*使用Java API函数库
*编写、测试与布署应用程序
*处理异常
*多线程
*网络程序设计
*集合与泛型
如果你想要看“一本正经”的书，去找其他的。但如果你真地想要好好地学习Java，你会需要《Head First Java》。这本书可是Amazon编辑推荐的十大好书之一！


Learning a complex new language is no easy task especially when it s an object-oriented computer programming language like Java. You might think the problem is your brain. It seems to have a mind of its own, a mind that doesn't always want to take in the dry, technical stuff you're forced to study.

The fact is your brain craves novelty. It's constantly searching, scanning, waiting for something unusual to happen. After all, that's the way it was built to help you stay alive. It takes all the routine, ordinary, dull stuff and filters it to the background so it won't interfere with your brain's real work--recording things that matter. How does your brain know what matters? It's like the creators of the Head First approach say, suppose you're out for a hike and a tiger jumps in front of you, what happens in your brain? Neurons fire. Emotions crank up. Chemicals surge.

That's how your brain knows.

And that's how your brain will learn Java. Head First Java combines puzzles, strong visuals, mysteries, and soul-searching interviews with famous Java objects to engage you in many different ways. It's fast, it's fun, and it's effective. And, despite its playful appearance, Head First Java is serious stuff: a complete introduction to object-oriented programming and Java. You'll learn everything from the fundamentals to advanced topics, including threads, network sockets, and distributed programming with RMI. And the new. second edition focuses on Java 5.0, the latest version of the Java language and development platform. Because Java 5.0 is a major update to the platform, with deep, code-level changes, even more careful study and implementation is required. So learning the Head First way is more important than ever.

If you've read a Head First book, you know what to expect--a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works. If you haven't, you're in for a treat. You'll see why people say it's unlike any other Java book you've ever read.

By exploiting how your brain works, Head First Java compresses the time it takes to learn and retain--complex information. Its unique approach not only shows you what you need to know about Java syntax, it teaches you to think like a Java programmer. If you want to be bored, buy some other book. But if you want to understand Java, this book's for you.
