3.0 out of 5 stars Impressive, 12 Nov 2002
By Thomas Paul (Plainview, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Deitel & Deitel books are impressive. They are impressive in size and scope (not to mention weight). How can one describe a book that starts with "What is a computer?" and ends with a discussion of the Java Media Framework? The book is as complete as you would want in an introduction to Java. It is more than 1500 pages plus bonus chapters on the included CD. The book covers virtually everything in J2SE, gives a good primer on object oriented programming, and covers design patterns and UML. There's enough information in this book for two semesters of Java. Perhaps this is the problem with this book. All this scope, all this information is just too overwhelming. Trying to use this book to self-teach Java would probably be too much. This is the kind of book that needs a steady guiding hand to point out the important information. The book even starts out hard, throwing the reader right into Swing which is used throughout the book. But this book is good. Code examples are everywhere and they are very well explained. The publisher even uses multi-color syntax highlighting to make it easier to read the code. Virtually every line of code is explained. It is almost impossible to turn a page and not find either code samples or a diagram. If you are planning on teaching a Java course and you are looking for a textbook this is one book that would make a good choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most complete introductory java book on the market., 12 Nov 2001
The example code is in complete programs. The page count,140 extra pages on CD and a small typeface, means it is complete, showing e.g. import statements.
Colour adds to the screenshots and gives syntax colouring of the code.
Covers e.g. Menus. This isn't in 3rd ed of Sun's Core Java 1/2, Graphic Java. In 21 days etc. (Not having "How to program", I ended up reverse engineering JBuilder generated code).

Another example on groups of JButtons saved me a days work and paid for the book.

Includes J2SE 1.3.1 on CD.
Late in the day for a 1.3 text when Java 1.4 will be finalised in Jan/Feb 2002. But the extra work shows.
I don't see what value CS depts are going to add to this. Viable for 18 year olds to buy this and the Deitels 'Advanced Java', study these for 6 months, then get a Java job.
I wish there were texts of this quality when I did CS.
Includes introductions to design, patterns and UML, as a bonus, these wouldn't normally have been covered in 1st year.

After seeing this book, I'm going to buy the Deitels follow on book "Advanced Java" for initiation to J2EE and JDBC, (server-side programming).

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book to learn Java, 6 Nov 2002
If you start from scratch, this book is for you.

I have bought a lot of books about Java. This one is by far the best introduction to this language. It covers SDK 1.3, so you ll find nothing about the assertions but who cares.

Colors are used in the code exactly like an advanced editor would do. It makes it easy to read the code.

The aim here is to learn Java but surely you'll keep it as a reference.

Servlet and JSP are not covered in this book because it is an introduction to Java. The 2nd book from Deitel covers J2EE components...
