Rating: Very disappointing. I have lot's of O'Reilly books, it's just about all a buy and "Learning Java" so few examples of code it's as dry as moon dust. The Authors should ask Randal L. Schwartz & Tom Phoenix, Author's of "Learning Perl" how to write a "leaning" book. That book is excellent! My suggestion is this, pull to book and rewrite it only this time do a little work by actually programming in Java and including it in the book. The world does not need another Bjarne Stroustrup's type book (C++ Programming Language) which is what "Learning JAVA" is If you have trouble sleeping, buy this book, it will put you to sleep fast!
