Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: I am consultant who is getting ready to take the Java Developer Exam and this is an excellent Java book that does a fine job at teaching object-oriented analysis, design and implementation, which is by itself far more valuable than Java. Yes, I do agree that it might not be the best book for a beginner, but that fact alone doesn't make it a "bad" book. Please, remember that Java is growing by leaps and bounds, and you are as likely to buy snake oil that will cure all your problems as you are to find the Holly Grail of Java books that will teach you everything--including the basics. I have learned OO and Java on my own and these are a few recommendations: Sorry, you have to read a 'few' books like Thinking in Java (watch for the 2nd Edition,) use an excellent reference like Java Class Libraries (3 books that come close to the Java Holy Grail,) or Java in a Nutshell before you become familiar with the subject and move on to the intermediate level.
Lastly, p.l.e.a.s.e avoid taking the geeky road to success, learn UML (Applying UML and Patterns), the whole life cycle, and the business for which you are going to be developing these applications-we tend to forget that this is the hand that feeds us.

Summary: Great Book, but more for experienced programmers.
Comment: This is a great book for what it is. It is definitely not a beginner-level, just getting into java book, but more for experienced OO programmers who want to learn how to develop applications in Java. I have been looking for an intermediate book like this for a while. This book walks you through the process of how to develop a real application (a stock market tracker/analyzer), and ties it all together nicely from analysis and design, through implementation. The author gives good insight on his thought processes each step of the way. I like the fact that he uses the internet from which to pull off the stock quotes. Hopefully, more authors will follow this lead and give us some example applications that we can use in the real world, instead of a bunch of toy code snippets. The only drawback that I can see to this book is that it stops short as far as using JDBC in a Swing application. I wish the author would have added an extra chapter or two that covered binding Swing components to the database. Can somebody please write a book on this?

Summary: Well....People...
Comment: Good Book - I think what you people don't realize is when the guy uses sloppy grammar...it's better that way...programming doesnt't have to be harsh or brutal, I think Jesse is a great author, even though this isnt this book, I am very new to C++ and with the book 'teach urself c++ in 21 days' I found i could even skip ahead to a certain topic and read through the topics and discussion about it...and GET IT. The reason I think Jesse is a great author is that even though the grammar is a little sloppy, the books are very well organized and thorough (sp?)
