For example, "if" structure is covered after the looping structures and programming environment is in the last section of Chapter 2, not in the first section. The order of the some topics are not conventional. I feel the book should cover the basics in more details and more examples. However, for some schools with a slow paced programming course, covering more basic programming skills and more examples could improve the learning experience. It is a great book for a fast paced course. It begins with an introduction to computation, then followed by Java basics. The book follows the standard modularity for a first programming course. Similar formats are used from the beginning to the end. The book is very well organized in style. The book is very concise, and easy to follow. Beginners do not need the up-to-date new syntax to do well in a problem solving course. However, I do not think that is a problem. The book doesn't use the most recent version of Java Environment. It is can be used as one semester or one year book for Java programming. The book covers all parts needed for a freshman course.
