This is our first college semester and our book budget was seriously under quota...I was really nervous about buying used books online so this was a last result. The book was in really good condition and included the cd and I got it the same week! THANK YOU for turning my big ordeal into a positive one. It was definately worthwhile experience. Thank you-Thank you-Thank you!

This is the best resource for learning Java I have found. The book assumes the reader knows nothing about the language, starting with the most basic elements of the programming language and moving ahead to more complex topics that build on those elements. The code examples are in colored text so that it is very easy to read. Tips are given throughout the text for avoiding common errors that Java programmers fall into. The information is also in depth - every aspect of the language is explained in detail, and this is why the book is so thick. I don't think you could find a more thorough book. It's ideal for both beginners and experts.
