Very accessible and clear

I liked this book as it was clear, easy to read and didn't talk down to me. I found the explanations of object orientation and Java were well presented and well illustrated. I also liked the many "how to" style chapters which made it easy to see how to use RMI, Servlets, Sockets etc. I also really liked the Java self tester and the chapter on Java programming problems. The self test material was also provided on-line at the books web site, which also has all the source code form the book and lots of additional examples. This is a really great book with good support - the author also answered my questions by email!

Excellent introduction to OO and Java and a great reference

This book is the book to buy if you want one book which will introduce you to Object Orientation, Java and the various aspects of the Java platform such as applets, servlets, rmi and JDBC. It also includes object oriented design based on the UML.
