I recently purchased The Java Multimedia Cyber Classroom. I found this multimedia disc to be the best investment I ever made. This interactive way of presenting Java is awesome...if you have anything like this for other programs, I want to purchase all of them.Robert O’Meara

I’ve been working with Java for about a year and have worked through a number of books—including a book in preparation for the Sun Java Programmer’s Certification—but yours is the best so far, and I am only on Chapter 4. I’m talking about the 3rd edition of Java How to Program. I like everything about it: the tips, summaries, terminology, programming errors and good programming practices, and all the exercises. Your teaching style is recursive, and that is about the best compliment I know—I believe it is the best way to teach. With any luck, I will be ready for the test in a few months. So, thanks!Ed Byrnes
