I have both Exploring Java(The first edition) and learning Java. I love these books. O'Reilly in general are very very good and they have taken a fair amount of my money and this book is not only full of cynical little snippets of geek humour but it actually goes at a pace that neither bores me to death nor goes over the top in tech detail.
It's not for someone who has never programmed before and he does mention the occaisional C/C++ thing (pointers, class and method creation) that can throw someone who is a complete newcomer but this book isn't for them in any case.
I would just like to thank the authors. Today I needed some IO code and voila, 5 minutes of reading and I was on my way. that is what is so brilliant about this book: it points you in the right direction without fuss or boredom.
To the guy further down who posted about test.class and test$.class etc. This is mentioned in the book. It's what the compiler does to get around some paradoxes with inner classes and is mentioned in the discusion on that topic.
