Customer Reviews

good tutorial, hopeless reference

The nice thing about this book is the examples are much closer to real-world problems you might tackle than the contrived examples you find in other texts. This is a very PRACTICAL book. The main problem with it is its age. It needs to be re-released to cover JDK 1.1 and 1.2

Good introduction to Java.

Works great as an introductory lesson to Java. Each section must be followed through to get a grasp of its concept. The index is very sparse, so it makes a bad reference book
