Excellent Books; the authors covers all the main concepts needed by any Java programmer and they also touch on some not so popular concepts. The book is well written and the information provided is well researched and discussed. The authors do not waste pages with useless materials, but rather gets straight to the point, using simple and clear explanations which are driven home by good examples. I have learnt much from reading these books (Both Volume 1 and Volume 2)

Awesome book. A must buy.
I have read lots of Java books, but this book presents each topic so uniquely that you will feel connected.
Each topic has been categorized according to real life applicability.

Till now its the best book for Core java. Definitely not for beginners . The For beginning go for Ivor Hortons Java 7

This is the best book i have read about so many books but they are not explain the concepts not in simple way. In this book the author explain the concepts simple as well as he cover the complete concepts. Each time if you are reading this book you will understand new things every time.
