BUY THIS BOOK; TRASH ALL OTHERS.

Let's set the stage: I have read "Java in 21 Days". Results: shouldn't have spent 21 minutes. And: "Java and Object-Orientation, (John Hunt); Results, It's nothing but Jargon, "another worthless Academic. It reminds me of the time that Ben Barber (The Whalt Whitman Chair at Rutgers University in New Jersey) said to me on day after class that he was too busy to talk to me because he had a call from the (Clinton) White House. Yea, right Ben You Liar. I Have read Eckels Stuff, too, it's Junk. BUT......This book is the book that will allow you to throw those bloated academics in the trash and get to understanding and writting some great Java code. I suggest that you buy any book that has the names Stephen Gilbert and Bill McCarty in the Author'e credits. Actually, I think I will form a foundation that demands that these two authors write for us--future programmers-- the next instalment of "Advanced Java" by Gilbert and McCarty

My Bible for Java

I found this book the best to clear the basic fundamentals of the language. It definately is the stepping stone with a strong foundation for all those who want to learn Java on their own. The language is lucid, easy to undrestand. The OOP's concepts which are pictorically described makes a permanent impression on the reader such that the concepts are not mingled. As mentioned no prior requirement of C++ is required. I certainly do consider this book my Bible(no exaggeration). For advanced concepts I may refer to some other books giving a detail on the topic but for the fundamentals I stick to this book.

Finally I have arrived!

Funny, intuitive and certainly clear! I went from being confused about Java to having a clear as day understanding of the language. Simply put this book teaches java using the english language, using methaphors we all know and understand, all while keeping a lighter side to things. I've bought about 3 or 4 books on java before thinking they were good and I could use them, but as I delved into the "teaching" I later found that the more complicated the chapter got the more confused I got. I have also finally found a book which does not isolate me from the java classes by building their own intermediary classes which handle the final code. Here, you deal with the code itself, not some bundled java classes which you are required to import in order to compile the example. Mitchell Waite did it again!

Perfect for complete beginners

If you've never programmed anything before, Java is the best language to learn, and this is the best book to teach it. This book doesn't just teach the language, it teaches object oriented computer science. The most important thing in choosing computer books is making sure you are the book's intended audience. For someone who's never programmed, it's perfect. However, I don't think an experienced programmer needs to go over everything from the beginning, unless it's someone who has a lot of trouble understanding OOP. It's still a great book that covers a lot extremely well.

Womb to tomb java programs

This book is a great way to learn Java. It is one of the few books on any programming language that realizes that programs can't be created in a vacuum. Simply writing a program isn't going to accomplish anything. Once you write it, it has to be compiled and run. Object-Oriented Programming in Java 1.1 shows you how to do all the above plus testing and debugging to boot. All the while providing lucid explanations and several illuminating examples that give you a feel for object-oriented design.
