Praise for the Head First approach
“Java technology is everywhere—in mobile phones, cars, cameras, printers, games, PDAs, ATMs, smart cards,
gas pumps, sports stadiums, medical devices, Web cams, servers, you name it. If you develop software and
haven’t learned Java, it’s definitely time to dive in—Head First.”
—Scott McNealy, Sun Microsystems Chairman, President and CEO
“It’s fast, irreverent, fun, and engaging. Be careful—you might actually learn something!”
—Ken Arnold, former Senior Engineer at Sun Microsystems
Co-author (with James Gosling, creator of Java),
The Java Programming Language
“Until now, I could not have imagined a person smiling while studying an IT book! Using Head First EJB
materials, I got a great score (91%) and set a world record as the youngest SCBCD, 14 years.”
—Afsah Shafquat
(world’s youngest Sun Certified Business Component Developer)
“I received the book yesterday and started to read it on the way home... and I couldn’t stop. I took it to
the gym and I expect people saw me smiling a lot while I was exercising and reading. This is très ‘cool.’
It is fun but they cover a lot of ground and they are right to the point. I’m really impressed.”
—Erich Gamma, IBM Distinguished Engineer,
and co-author of Design Patterns
“Head First Design Patterns manages to mix fun, belly laughs, insight, technical depth and great practical
advice in one entertaining and thought provoking read. Whether you are new to design patterns, or have
been using them for years, you are sure to get something from visiting Objectville.”
—Richard Helm, coauthor of “Design Patterns” with rest of the
Gang of Four - Erich Gamma, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides
“I feel like a thousand pounds of books have just been lifted off of my head.”
—Ward Cunningham, inventor of the Wiki and founder of the Hillside Group
“Head First Object-Oriented Analysis and Design is a refreshing look at the subject of OOA&D. What sets
this book apart is its focus on learning. There are too many books on the market that spend a lot of
time telling you why, but do not actually enable the practitioner to start work on a project. Those books
are very interesting, but not very practical. I strongly believe that the future of software development
practice will focus on the practitioner. The authors have made the content of OOA&D accessible and
usable for the practitioner ”
— Ivar Jacobson, Ivar Jacobson Consulting
