Title: Good Starting Java Book
Review: Not only does this book give a beginner a comprehensive tutorial in Java, it also highlights Object Oriented Concepts that are essential to good Java programming. I would have given this book a five star rating, if it wasn't for bad editing (errors in examples, etc.) But, at least, there are less errors than the first edition. This is the first book on learning Java that I have been able to actually sit down and make my way through. Rather than use the basic Java compiler, I would recommend using the Eclipse product (download free at www.eclipse.org) since that is the new emerging standard in Java (and other lanugages) programming. Learning Eclipse while you are learning Java would only help.
