Review of Java 2 for Dummies (Paperback)

For a few years now, I have wanted to learn how to program in JAVA.I bought books on JAVA but always hit road blocks along the way (because the author assumed I already knew something) that unmotivated me.In Java 2 for Dummies, Barry Burd has written a step-by-step book that could teach a near computer illiterate how to program in JAVA.He even includes directions to setting up the computer for convenience while programming.Explanations make the reader feel as though s/he is in a conversation with the author himself.I did not imagine that learning a programming language could be so easy.
