  1. Finally, a great beginners programming book
    I've been trying to learn programming on and off for a couple of years on my own (going back to school will not work). I found it hard to learn because I couldn't find a book that explained the basics thoroughly. I tried C++, but after the first couple of chapters the authors lost me, skipping...
  2. Great Introduction!
    As a college senior, I've had to read many textbooks; some painful, some not. This book is by far one of the best I have used. In fact, while I have been using Amazon's review services for my own purchases for many years, I haven't felt the compulsion to write a review. This is the first book to...

Java - JSlider, Custom Color?

I am new to Java, and i have been learning it on my own for a couple months. My book asks me to build an application with three slider controls and a label control. I am supposed to be able to use the sliders to adjust the red, green, and blue values


You aren't updating anything when the JSlider moves. In order to have the color and text values change, you need to set them again each time the slider is moved. This is done by adding an ChangeListener to the sliders, which will call a custom...

Vowels don't cost $500: Pontificating on Java variable naming

Every variable you declare in Java must be associated with a type, and it must also be given a unique name. When naming your variables, put a little bit of thought into it and name them well. Well thought out variable names make Java programs both easier to read and easier to maintain. Good names can even make Java programming fun.

This isn't an episode of Wheel of Fortune...

When consulting, I often have to remind developers that writing a Java program isn’t an episode of Wheel of Fortune – you don’t have to spin for a letter, and you don’t have to pay $500 for a vowel. I often see garbled code, where variable names have vowels arbitrarily stripped out of them or they have last few letters of a word curiously removed. Smaller variable names don’t translate into better code, and the length of a variable name doesn’t have any impact on runtime performance – it only impacts readability and maintainability, and long-term maintainability is the most important aspect of any computer program.
