I must say that this is the best programming book I've ever read, and mostly because of all the awesome programming exercises at the end of each chapter. This was also the book that got me into the wonderful world of programming. I recall my professor telling me that the best way to learn how to program was to practice as much as I can, and that's what I exactly went to do. It took me about a half a year to go through all the examples and exercises in the book, but after that, learning every oth

There are thousands of Java book. But to me this one is unique. It was my text in 3 courses in college and served as reference books for a couple of others. Whatever I learned about Java, I learned from this book. The first half is pretty easy and hand on. But later in the book, more complicated (and useful!) concepts of the language are covered, such as socket communication or threading.

I did not think this textbook was very well done. The technical writing within was about as dry as it's possible to be, and that without providing much clarity of instruction. Unlike the text I had for C++, a lot of information was presented devoid of context, and the reasons behind a lot of the techniques were missing.
It made a language that is supposed to be much easier than C++ much more difficult instead.

I might be a bit biased here since I strongly dislike Java, however the book is a good guide to follow for those who wish to learn Java. I had to purchase this book for my Java course, and I barely heard any complaints from those who work with Java on a daily basis.
The only downside to this book was the price, but alas the woes of being a college student.
