Summary: Excellent Way to Learn Java!
Comment: I'm glad this book was our textbook for a four month Java course at our local technical college. As a student, I appreciated this book's very practical, "How to" approach to learning Java. The book's 2-page format put A clear, "How to" commentary on the left page along with illustrations, code, and tables on the right page. Exercises and projects follow the text. The instructor's package included Power-Points that mirrored the text, making it easy to follow. I especially appreciated how the author brought her insights as a working programmer to her commentary and selection of illustrations and projects. The CD-ROM enclosed with the text included SDK 1.4, Java API documentation for SDK 1.4, source code & data for all the examples and exercises in the book, and two different IDE's, TextPad (very cool little tool) and Sun's Forte...everything you need to learn by doing. I'm looking forward to studying Andrea Steelman's next book, Murach's Java Servlets and Jsps... just as soon as I pass my Java Programmer's exam!

Summary: Best Java2 Book for a beginner
Comment: I've been struggling to learn Java for a few months now. I started out with other popular books and found the examples confusing and ridiculous. Finally, a book with examples I can understand! I also found the text to be well written and easy to comprehend.
I recommend this book to anyone who has no programming experience at all or to those who want to learn object-oriented programming in Java.

Summary: Excellent overview of Java for people new to OO Programming
Comment: Given the fact that NO book can be comprehensive enough to teach everything, as well as the fact that it takes practice, practice and MORE practice writing code to become proficient, this book IS one of the finest I have seen in getting a person "ramped up" quickly. I initially purchased Sam's Teach Yourself Java 2 in 21 Days and found it to be convoluted, difficult to follow and full of inane examples that were not applicable to the "real world." Invariably I find that I get halfway through these books and give up, because they do not address my needs. I understand that it requires tremendous detail to understand ALL the theory behind the language, but that is not what I am looking for here. I can get that by augmenting my study with different source material (for example, Sun's tuturial on their web site (...) is extremely helpful, but it takes MONTHS to get through from beginning to end. This book is good because it allows one to be able to produce functional, practical programs in a relatively short period of time. It is a good entry point which can be enhanced as one pursues the subject in greater depth.
