Head First Java
Your Brain on Java - A Learner's Guide

By Bert Bates, Kathy Sierra
First Edition May 2003 
Series: Head First
ISBN: 0-596-00465-6
This book is out of print. Please consider the latest edition.

The latest research in cognitive science, neurobiology, and educational psychology shows that learning at the deeper levels takes a lot more than text on a page. Actively combining words and pictures not only helps in understanding the subject, but in remembering it. Head First Java puts these theories into practice with a vengeance. Chock full of mind stretching exercises, memorable analogies, and stories, humor and attitude that aren't just pasted-on distractions but that are used to drive home key points and make ideas come alive, the Head First approach is as effective as it is unique.
