8 of 8 people found the following review helpful. We need more books like this. By Jason I have read 9 books on Java programming and all of them have been good but they only provide explanations of certain areas. While reading BJ8D I felt like I had a teacher walk me through every detail. I think more books should be like this one in which it takes you through an example program from start to finish. He explained the steps and reinforced it by showing his desktop. I think for people like me that need to see the whole picture it is the perfect beginner book and not just for game programming. I whole heartily recommend this book.

I'm so happy i read this book By Christian Nwafor Wallace Jackson, you are the B.O.M.BI'm a newbie in game programming but a Java and NetBean enthusiast. Wallace tried to cover all there is in game programming and i really do appreciate those extra efforts he puts in touching graphics, audio, video, and 3d models - aside javafx programmimg. I'm so happy i read this book. Please Wallace, i will need a handle to reach you (twitter, facebook, google+, or whatever).
4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. A very good book, but start out very basic. By Britt Pierce When I bought this book I was looking for a book about Java 8 that I could have fun with and not get bored with reading through and end up only using it as a reference. So, when I saw this title I thought it would be a good learning tool and writing a game would keep me interested. For what I bought it for, I felt it did an excellent job.This is absolutely a "beginner" book. The first four or five chapters are very, very basic. I can see the author is laying a foundation of basic knowledge but it is too basic. For example, entire chapters are written on how to download the various IDE's and applications you will need. IMO, telling me I need to download the latest version of Java 8 and NetBeans 8 should not take up three or four pages of text. It is that way for all of the various tools the author recommends. It also teaches the very basics of Java and Object Oriented programming...what a package is, what a class is, what a constructor is, what overloading and overriding methods mean, etc. I know this is a beginners book but it seems to assume you have never used Java, know nothing of OO programming, and don't know how to download software from the internet. IMO, it is too basic and contains a lot of stuff that almost all readers will skip.However, when I read past (or mostly skimmed and skipped) those early chapters, this book does a very good job of breaking down how Java 8 handles graphics, sound, getting objects on screen, and various game related tasks (collision detection, animation and movement, etc). That is the main purpose of the book so it gets a big thumbs up for how it presents and teaches the fundamentals of JavaFX and how it can be used to create a game.The layering of knowledge works well in the later chapters. The author never jumps right into coding but explains the goal and how the inner workings of Java 8 can reach that goal. You are not just told to define a sprite...but this is what the various graphic formats are (GIF, JSP, PNG, etc.), this is what we need to consider when we use a graphic, this is what I recommend, and now this is what you need to do in Java 8 to use that graphic. The same is done with audio, screen design, etc.The result is you create a game with his example code but you finish the book with an in depth understanding of the code, and ALSO why certain choices were made and how to make the best choices when you make your own game.So, I would highly recommend this book with the understanding that if you are not completely new to Java and Object Oriented programming that you may not get much out of the first few chapters.
