Hi Herb,

I've used your Beginner's Guides as an Intro to Java textbook for the past five years. Now I have a client that wants a course that starts with the basics and gets into web services and JSP/Servlets with lots of useful hands-on examples.

Haven't gotten a copy of your book yet (probably by February) but would like to know how well you think your new title would tailor to a classroom setting.

Thanks

Hi Herb,

Welcome to Java Ranch !!! I want to thank you for providing a wonderful book ( Java Complete Reference 1.4). I still treasure this book from the past 7 years.

I will look forward to explore Java Cook Book

All the best to you !!!

Best Regards
Ayub

Welcome to JavaRanch Bairn!

Please ask questions in a separate/new thread. This thread is just for welcoming the author. Also note that posts in this thread are not eligible to win in the promotion. So you increase your chances by asking outside this thread. It also helps people discuss if they find the topic particularly interesting.

Hi Herbert,

I've read your C++ and Java books, and I absolutely love your style of writing. Please keep it up ! Welcome, and we all hope to gain insights from you !!

Hi Herb,

Well done! I am sure this book will show us the practical things about Java Programming Language. Keep it up!

Is this the same Herbert Schildt? I am glad to talk to you here Schildt.

As many have told, during our academics we have studied your Complete Reference C++, Java

What an excellent way of writing! Hats off to you sir.

Many thanks to JavaRanch for giving such opportunities.
Welcome you on board and wishing you a great time ahead.

Welcome !

Now I must see if I can find a question for you... would be nice to have a copy...

Hi everyone! Its great to be here again.

And thanks for all the kind words.
They are truly appreciated.

One other thing: As I write this we are experiencing an ice storm. I hope that it does not get any worse than it is, and I hope that the power does not go out. However, it is possible that I will be "off-line" from time to time because of the weather situation.

Assuming you remain online an are not frozen out, how suitable is this book for beginners, or is it a book for people who can program already and need additional "recipes?"
