This was the first programming book I've ever read.
I liked it back then, but I didn't like the fact that important concepts like networking in Java were considered to be an "Advanced" topic, while GUI programming was included in the fundamentals book.
But I admit it's a good introductory text to Java and programming in general.

I was looking for a book to get me moderately familiar with the Java programming language and this isn't it. The authors are *way* too opinionated and keep interrupting the flow of the book to note all the differences between Java and C++.
Perhaps I'm missing the point, but this is a book about Java! I can understand the periodic interlude, but every page has multiple side notes. *Very* distracting.
This is a book of inside jokes and unfortunately I'm just trying to learn Java here.

It covers most aspects of Java, maybe a little shallow on some topics, but already good enough for intermediate level programmers.
It might be a little bit difficult for beginners. The author had to skip some stuff to finish those topics in 800 pages.
The diagrams could be improved according to my personal taste.

Does a decent job explaining fundamentals. I read the first version way back when. This one explains newer features. It should probably focus on fundamentals instead of getting sidetracked as it does. In the middle it goes off into features that aren't part of core Java. So that's like another book.
One of the best language books.
The content covers different parts of the Java language from simple things to complex details. I used it during my university Java course and it helped alot, explained everything that regular course left untold.
I would recommend it for anyone who started to learn Java.

Good description of Java programming language and various Java technologies. Sometimes long and verbose, but I think it's good for such book format
A very good reference for the basic to intermediate level of java programming.
Very good book for everyone who wants to start learning Java!
Good, but too long description of Java programming language
