Summary: Great book for a beginer
Comment: Down to Earth examples and logical flow. You lear Java and OOP design basics as you follow building a simulation of a coffee vending machine. Great humor, easy reading...

Rating: 3
Summary: A good conceptual start
Comment: The book is a good conceptual start for Java 1.1. It is also a good book on OOD. However, since no revision of the book is being done, it is losing value. In fact with passage of time, the usefulness of this book (or any other programming language book) is bound to depreciate.

The concept of design patterns is not discussed in this book, which simply cannot be avoided in any book dealing with OOD (except such references as 'accessor' or 'mutator').

Reference to a modeling language (preferably, UML) would appreciate the usefulness, which is my personal opinion.

I wish a group of person take this book as an ongoing project and do the necessary things that would bring it to 6*!

Summary: Stay away from this book
Comment: Too much junk and the way this book is organized makes it not easy to understand. I agree with a previous reviewer that this books it too wordy and boring.
For a book on java, I'd recommend "Java in 21 days" and "Thinking in Java".
