A great introduction to Java. My girlfriend's sister is taking her first Java class in college,I recommended this book, and she found it easier to follow than her textbook. I am a big fan of the "Think" series. Would love to see Think Objective C.

Great! The only thing I could use very much is solutions for the exercises be it in the book or somewhere online.
