This book is very well written. I didn't fall asleep trying to get through it. The author held true to his commitment stated in the front of the book. I felt my money was well invested. I have spent a small fortune on computer books in the past. I will be sticking with O'Reilly as much as is possible for my future needs.


I came from a C/C++, and Visual Basic background. The layout of the book made me feel at ease and was actually very interesting reading. It will also double as a wonderful reference for my future use.


I was a little concerned at first about how the author would do teaching Java to a split audience -- newbies to Java coming from another language (like me) and to seasoned professionals. I was presently surprised. I never felt lost.


If you are learning Java, or need a reference, get this book. Be sure to get the Java Foundation Classes related book too.
