Good book for Beginner as well as Experienced Programmer

This is very good book. As I take this book when I wann to Start Java again from Starting point. So can say that I've some knowledege of java and I wann to recall it with some good examples. And also I wann to touch which I never touch like Java Beans, Thearding, networking etc. and I found that this book really helpful for me. One more thing I wann to say that this book would be more useful if authore cover some more tpoics like security, little bit introduction of servlet, jsp etc.Anyway, I've full marks to this book.Pranav

If I could give to this 6 starts, then I would give him 10

I had the great happiness of receiving this book as a gift of a dear friend. I am a beginner in the Java programming. For me, this it is an excellent book, their authors wrote it with a lot of grace and with a lot of ability so that the reader understood it. Don't doubt to buy this book. If I could give to this 6 stars, then I would give him 10.

Using Java 2 Standard Edition

Excellent book!!! Even somebody like me could understand it and write couple of programs! I will say book had something to do with it. Best one by far.

A very good book on Java

I've just switched over to Java from doing only Microsoft ASP and HTML. I found this book to be exactly what it says, "a book for programmers new to the Java language" and will be a good reference for me later. The book is big and packed with more than enough examples to see the material in action. I've had no problems running any of the examples, although the formatting of one of them was moved to the next line and I had to move it back. No big deal for me. What I like about this style of book is that it did not try to cover anything related to the enterprise edition, but stayed with the core Java libraries. That's enough as the size of this book is over 1000 pages. There are some differences in style between the authors as far as how they formatted their examples, but it gives me different ways that I can structure my code. I sort of like these multi-author books, rather than just a single author. Like I said, the style is a little different between them, but the flow is very easy. It's obvious to me that they must have worked closely together, unlike another book I recently bought on Java Server Pages which was all over the place.All in all, a great book for those just moving to the Java language and wanting more than a reference or API. The other thing I like about this book is there's no annoying attempt at humor. Very professional approach, without attempting to be comedians.

Very Good Book on Java Programming

This is a very good text on java programming. It is not meant for the absolute beginner and sort of assumes that the reader knows some other language; the baics of java are very well-covered. The book has 1100+ pages and covers a lot of material. I did not go through the whole book, but those chapters that were of interest to me; and all these very good. The explanation, organization of material, diversity of examples are all good. Topics it covers include databases, threads, networking, etc. I highly recmommend it to the professional java programmer.
