It covers all the java concepts and explains it very easily.

Would recommend it to people starting to learn java

* excellent book
* nice explanations
* the guidance given through this book is no nice that you will be master of Java [but programmer requires inbuilt logic to master language and this book helps to enhance it]

*YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE FUN WITH explanations given and going to enjoy learning experience.
* so totally worth spending 350 bucks or so.
* A student who really wants to learn but HATES programming or till now failed to grasp anything or do not have hold on language and yet aspiring...

people who dont feel like reading jus words and paragraph and feel boredom can opt this book, its kinda reading a comic book, amazing explanation and easy understandblity. have diagrammatic explanations easier to remember concepts this way,must by book i prefer this book in java even complete reference to java is also good.

This is just a awesome book but not for a beginner. The language of this book is fantastic that make it different from traditional book this very very good book

This book is a must have for beginners. Unlike other books, the content is very reader friendly and candid with visual content placed at strategic places to aid in remembering. The concepts are explained like you're having a conversation with the book and the fun exercises after each chapter really engages in the reader. All in all its a must have to begin introduction with the basic java concepts.

Wonderful book! Very student friendly, one will enjoy reading it as it has explained things with images and market related examples. Different types of exercises like cross down puzzle. Language is easy and intresting.

This is a very good book to learn java.I almost finished reading it . It contain very good example and teaches java in practical way.
It is not reference book where you can find all the java related thing. But it builds good foundation of java programming.

It's the perfect book to start Java programming..fun to read. I would recommend this to every one who like to study having fun:)

Well, there are so many reviews which already states my happiness, Just one thing, You actually don't need any other JAVA book except this. This book will make you feel and learn JAVA and it's concepts by heart.
I can't believe. I mean this book is WoW! You got to read it, to believe it. Although this is my first book of this series but I firmly believe all the books in this series carry same awesomeness in them like this one.

Isse acchi book nahi milegi, fatafat khareed daalo.

P.S.: This ...

Just best for first time learner. If you are new to Java or OOP, this is the best (no other book can match it) book for you. You don't need any teacher, book itself can make you good Java programmer, just read and follow instruction.
