Title: not perfect, but the best java text i've found so far.
Review: i need good programming examples of working code, that illustrate the concepts discussed in the text, and peferably a step-thru of the code. also if it's OOP then I want insight of how to think about the OOP(object oriented programming) tools.this book gives it a fair try. I think most java texts are fair to poor, but "Core" manages to be good. Like most java books the authors have a "we're coming from C attitude", but that's the status quo in oop books.I thought they could have handled the interfaces, inner classes, and callbacks chapter better - that chap. is tough going, and they don't handle the "this" keyword well - should have given it more attention. BUT there's nothing better out there right now in my opinion - so it's my #1 ref.
