Summary: This book is very good for High School students (and older)
Comment: This book provided a very good introduction for me to Object Oriented programming. Although I had previous knowledge of other programming languages, I never knew anything about Object Oriented programming. The authors give an OO approach to the language, explaining what objects are and why we use them instead of linear programming. Java seemed to me as one of the hardest languages to learn when I was 13, but last year when I got this book (I was 15 then), I was able to master Core Java and basic AWT/Swing in a matter of weeks (3 to be precise). I recommend this book to anyone who hasn't had any luck learning Java well before. Since I DID have programming knowledge before, I'm not in a position to recommend it for starters -- but please give it a try.

Summary: An excellent book for real world programmers
Comment: DJS is written in a clear and concise prose with excellent attention to detail, without cluttering the issue. The book explains many of tha basic programming fundamentals required to create robust and correct code with the Java language. Many books which I have seen up to now covering the Java language are too envolved with scraping the surface of everyting. This book does the opposite, it doesn't try to tell you everything there is to know about Java, but what it does tell you is how to use the language and the important libraries effectively. There is also a heavy influence of the use of algorithms (searching sorting etc) and data structures (binary trees, lists etc) which are the building blocks of effective programming. I used this book at Kings College Lonodon and found it extremely informative. Clearly the other student who didn't like it was not up the course or just couldn't be bothered.

Summary: Good practical mix
Comment: Quite a nice resource. One thing that hasn't been mentioned, I think, is that this book covers data structures. I looked around for some time for an enjoyable book that showed how to implement the standard data structures in Java, till I found this. I also like the case studies later on. Very useful!
