Title: Great for self-study
Product review: At the moment, I have neither the time nor financial resources to go out and take a Java class at the local JC. Of the four books I've tried to use in order to teach myself the language, this one has, by far, been the most helpful. It goes through EVERYTHING step-by-step and is exhaustive in its information. A little too exhaustive for my taste. I'm a little annoyed by the structure of the book (Applets are discussed near the last half and are only glossed over) but it provides an education that allows one to grasp new concepts quickly. One should definitely try to get a grasp on the Object Oriented programming model before diving into this book, though.
