Pre-Publication Reviewer Testimonials"The chapter on exception handling is one, if not the best such chapters I have seen in the 50 plus .NET related books I've read and reviewed. It is concise, progressive and feature complete." —Peter Bromberg, Merrill Lynch "Leads the reader step-by-step with a powerful approach to many aspects of XML. Very impressive writing and presented extremely well." —Stacey Yasenka, Hyland Software "This chapter covers almost all aspects of generics. After completing it the programmers should be able to use generics to make their programs more robust, easier to maintain and increase the performance of existing code." —Stoicho Gussev, Independent Consultant, Writer and Developer |
For Instructors
"As always, I am impressed with the Deitel organization of books. I love teaching from them not only because the content is so sound, but also because of the competent and timely expertise and support provided." —Robert A. Long, Professor, Indiana University
We offer many publications across many different programming series of textbooks, including the How to Program Series, Simply Series, Deitel Developer Series and Operating Systems.
Our Prentice Hall textbooks cover a broad range of programming languages and computer science topics.

Recent Deitel Publications
Java How to Program, 6/e ISBN: 0131483986 Order your copy now from Amazon or InformIT Testimonials"A well-written presentation of object-oriented programming principles. A must-read for every aspiring programmer." —Marita Ellixson, Eglin AFB, University of Arkansas, Indiana Wesleyan University. "Does an excellent job describing the new features included in JDK 5.0..." —Doug Kohlert, Sun Microsystems "The optional Graphics & GUI case study track introduces students to some of the more fun things in Java! Working with color, graphics and GUI always gets their attention!" —Karen Arlien, Bismark State College "I teach Java programming and object-oriented analysis and design. The optional UML/OOD case study is the best presentation of the ATM example I have seen. ... Classes are introduced early. The authors separate the functionality and the testing of the class, emphasizing good program design principles." —Craig W. Slinkman, University of Texas at Arlington "The UML material is very well done and a huge asset." "Introduces OOP early without burying the reader in complexity. The conceptual level is perfect. This will be a great help the next time I teach 101. ... I was introduced to JHTP by my students who pleaded with me to drop our assigned text in favor of JHTP. No other text comes close to its quality of organization and presentation. The Live-Code approach to presenting exemplary code makes a big difference in the learning outcome." —Walt Bunch, Chapman University "Probably the most complete coverage of learning through examples in published material today. This material is such high quality—it is unbelievable. The ATM example is super!" —Anne Horton, AT&T Bell Laboratories |
C++ How to Program, 5/e ISBN: 0131857576 Order your copy now from Amazon or InformIT Testimonials"Great early introduction to classes and objects. The combination of live-code examples and detailed figures provides a unique visualization of C++ concepts." —Earl LaBatt, University of New Hampshire "This new edition signals a significant step in the pedagogic evolution of the Deitel C++ series. The early classes and objects perspective is consistent with current thinking regarding the education of today's software developers." —Ric Heishman, Northern Virginia Community College "The book is comprehensive, correct and crystal clear. No other textbook comes close in carefully explaining the intricacies of this powerful language." —James Huddleston, Independent Consultant "This book is one of the best of its kind. It is an excellent "objects first" coverage of C++ that remains accessible to beginners. The example-driven presentation is enriched by the optional OOD/UML ATM case study that contextualizes the material in an ongoing software engineering project." —Gavin Osborne, Saskatchewan Institute "Great coverage of polymorphism. I especially appreciate that
you explain how the compiler implements polymorphism under the
hood. I wish I had such a clear presentation of data structures
when I was a student." "I love the optional ATM case study! It can be the capstone experience that combines the building blocks of the language and software engineering concepts into an extremely relevant example." —Karen Arlien, Bismarck State College "Includes a nice introduction to searching and sorting, especially with the intro to Big-O (without being overly theoretical about it). The exercises are especially good." —Robert Myers, Florida State University |

Simply Series
This Deitel Simply Series combines the our signature live-code approach (emphasizing complete, working programs, rather than code snippets, and always showing sample outputs) with an application-driven methodology, in which readers build real-world applications that incorporate programming fundamentals. Using a step-by-step tutorial approach, readers learn programming basics. Each successive tutorial builds on previous concepts and introduces new programming features. Many Simply Series books also include higher-end topics such as database programming, multimedia and graphics and Web applications development.

Simply Series Testimonials
"This is a really innovative approach to the presentation of basic programming concepts. The tutorials are subdivided into small, easily understood pieces as a concept program is developed." —Ed Brunjes, Miramar College
