The Learn Java (GUI Applications) For High School Students topics are introduced progressively to ensure that students of different levels can progress at their own pace. Many exercises and problems are weaved into the chapters to maintain student interest and build confidenc e. Overall, I appreciated your efforts to make the Java product user friendly. - Carly Orr, Computer Science Teacher, Vancouver BC. I recently bought LEARN JAVA (GUI APPLICATIONS) and am amazed at how simple you make learning Java. I have been studying and teaching Java for three years and could not get anywhere. I was about to give up when I found your product. - NN, Pretoria, South Africa Thank you so much for the tutorial [LEARN JAVA (GUI APPLICATIONS)]. I think 'brilliant' goes some way to describing it. -JS, Sydney, Australia. I really enjoy your teaching method in LEARN JAVA (GUI APPLICATIONS). I look forward to continuing with your other products. - CK, Orlando, Florida. I believe your Java GUI programming book as one of the best and I enjoy learning from them. One of the things I like about your tutorials is that they teach you how to create and build sensible programs. That to me makes a lot of sense, rather than just to learn a bunch of Java basics, like what I see in other books . I have really appreciated the books I bought from you. I will tell anyone about your publication because I am 100% certain they are simply the best! There are no other Java books like yours. - Carvel Bell, Java Developer, Uniondale, NY
