A very helpful book which has greatly complimented my University degree course. However, if used on its own, I feel I would not get the most from it.
The additional resource CD that comes with the book is very praise worthy as it contains the code for most of the programs used in the book as well as a selection of IDEs to help you get going.
Well worth purchasing if you intend to learn to code in Java and want a book to acompany any course you may undertake.

The book which I brought from amazon was brand new, and surprising enough it came to me straight after 2 days. By which I was really pleased.
I also purchased this for my first year studying computer science at uni. It's an excellent book that teaches both the basics of Java and programming in general very well. The book is very easy to read and offers plenty of examples to demonstrate new concepts.
Whether you're planning to read this from start to finish or just use it to dip into to back up lectures, this is a great book for those new to the language.
