Product Description
Java in easy steps instructs you how to easily create your own exciting Java programs. Now, updated for Java 7, it contains separate chapters on the major features of the Java language. Complete example programs with colorized code illustrate each important aspect of Java programming -all in easy steps.
Now, in its fourth edition Java in easy steps begins by explaining how to download and install the free Java Development Kit (JDK) so that you can quickly begin to create your own executable programs by copying the examples.
This book assumes no previous knowledge of any programming language so it's ideal for the newcomer to computer programming. Each chapter builds your knowledge of Java. By the end of this book you will have gained a sound understanding of the Java language and be able to write your own Java programs and compile them into executable files that can be run on any Java-enabled computer.

Very decent value for ~$10

As the title suggests, given the cost and the content, I'm really happy with this book.
For someone who has never worked with Java (and/or object-oriented programming), this seems like a smart way to get a basic foundation started. Some of the early chapters are quite simple, but that's surely by design, to help avoid gaps in knowledge. The middle chapters focus on variables / data types, flow control, classes, et al. There's a chapter toward the end on deploying applications that I found very useful.
In short: it's for Java beginners; it serves that audience well; at US$10, it's easily worth it to me.

I received this book very quickly. As soon as I opened it, I gave it to my kid instead. This book is alright for beginners only. Few examples, but very elementary.
