Gittleman's easy to follow book covers almost everything you need to know about Java. Topics covered include software engineering, object-oriented programming, event-driven programming and basic Java... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Took a Java class awhile back and purchased this book. Turns out I recently had a need to brush up on Java for work. Thankfully, this book really came through to teach & refresh me the fundamentals as well as the details other books just glossed over (I was flipping furiously through 2 other Java books until Gittleman's book had the answers!). Needless to say, I can't rave enough about this book. Not sure what the other two reviewers were talking about ranking this book as low as they did. Yes, there are a FEW typos, but lets focus here on content. 5 out of 5! Go Beach! Happy Valentine's Day!
Excellent JAVA text

I absolutely love this book!!! As a student of computer science, I found the book invaluable in learning Java on my own. It is easy to read, it fully explains diffucult concepts and the examples are detailed. The skill-builder and critical thinking sections are a great way to evalutate and reinforce your knowledge on the various concepts that are introduced. I would whole-heartedly reccommend this book to anyone who needs a good practical knowledge of Java.
