Dan Pilone Biography & Facts

Head First is a series of introductory instructional books to many topics, published by O'Reilly Media. It stresses an unorthodox, visually intensive, reader-involving combination of puzzles, jokes, nonstandard design and layout, and an engaging, conversational style to immerse the reader in a given topic. Originally, the series covered programming and software engineering, but is now expanding to other topics in science, mathematics and business, due to success. The series was created by Bert Bates and Kathy Sierra, and began with Head First Java in 2003. Concept The main idea of the series is to effectively stimulate the brain by: Telling stories Visualizing Using attention-grabbing tactics: page layout, non-standard examples, puzzles, jokes, and other means. By using metacognition the series' authors and editors try to employ varied methods to present information and accelerate the learning process. Books The offerings in the Head First series are quickly expanding. The books are also delving into subjects that are not directly related to IT, such as Math (Head First Algebra, Head First Statistics), Science (Head First Physics) and project management (Head First PMP). The books are also gaining some popularity for classroom use because of their novel approach to their subject matters. The official web site for the Head First series has forums for each book as well as code downloads and sample chapters.
