As a basic introduction to programming and to Java, I suppose it's OK. It seemed unnecessarily brief on points I thought would most warrant extended discussion, and unnecessarily expansive on points I thought would have been better handled very briefly, but since very little of the material was at all new to me, I don't have a good sense of how his pacing and organization serve his intended audience.

Good book for Java beginners or information refreshment but can be organized better than that
as an example
1- File IO chapter not complete about most important classes on java.io package , why you focus on Scanner and PrintWriter classes

The book is amazing if you have studied the same book "Absolute C++". The author used the same template and the same design in his book C++. So this would make it really simple for someone who hasn't studied Java before
A concise, complete book for those who already know a lot about programming. A good reference, but perhaps a little curt for those of us who need more hand-holding.
This was my book for my first programming course in my major (Software Engineering)
Very good and helpful for beginner students in programming :)
