Summary: Decent book and decent introduction (for BEGINERS)
Comment: This book is probably No 1 book on the market as far as wider audience is concerned. The week one and two are excellent introduction to JAVA for a beginner. Third week is rather bad and written in a confusing manner - that needs to be rewritten in a new edition. So much for the ambition. For my opinion, week one is rather slow as well, but that is a matter of taste. The strongest part of the book is excellent graphical solution which is designed to ease the reading - compare to horrible Sun's publishing. Many times the authors forget how important is the presentation of material and this book is made in the manner that distinguished SAM's publishing. The book also suffers from misrepresentation - this is a book for beginner to casual user - not a serious programmer.

Summary: Java in 21 Days 1.1
Comment: I would say The Beginning is very good for people having no concept of OOPS and want to start with Java programming specially Laura Lemay, I would say is one of the best autor and having given good practical examples. However as soon as Charles L. Perkins takes over we are loosing our tracks totally. It cannot be useful because even a simple thing has made so complicated that it will cause you to think as if it is very difficult and there are no examples which you can try and understand. I am not sure want author is trying to achieve. I would suggest to new learners please don't even think of reading Charles L. Perkins portion, it will misguide you and you may loose your further interest in Learning Java

Summary: short but concise descriptions, good for a beginner
Comment: good book for a starter, very much like L.Lemays other books. Everything is covered but in short. gives the general overview of JDK1.1 and Java1.1
