Title: Great introduction to Java
Review: I am an ASP/SQL Server developer, and wanted to learn Java. I started reading two others and just gave up on them. This was the first book on Java that helped me understand the concept behind the language and how everything fits together. As a beginner to Java (but not to programming), I liked how it gave me a broad introduction to a variety of topics. I now have at least a bit of a clue about JSP, Servlets, and EJB. I am also pleased that this book covered Swing, the new GUI toolkit. Thanks to this book, I now feel competent in the language and can move on to more advanced stuff.
