Praise for the Head First Approach
“There are books you buy, books you keep, books you keep on your desk, and thanks to O’Reilly and the Head First crew, there is the ultimate category, Head First books. They’re the ones that are dog-eared, mangled, and carried everywhere. Head First SQL is at the top of my stack. Heck, even the PDF I have for review is tattered and torn.”
—Bill Sawyer, ATG Curriculum Manager, Oracle
“Elegant design is at the core of every chapter here, each concept conveyed with equal doses of pragmatism and wit.”
—Ken Goldstein, Executive Vice President, Disney Online
“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
“This book’s admirable clarity, humor and substantial doses of clever make it the sort of book that helps even non-programmers think well about problem-solving.”
—Cory Doctorow, co-editor of Boing Boing — Author, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom and Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town
“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
“I received the book yesterday and started to read it...and I couldn’t stop. This is definitely 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
“One of the funniest and smartest books on software design I’ve ever read.”
—Aaron LaBerge, VP Technology, ESPN.com
