Rating: - Comprehensive but painfully dry
If you're looking for the one-stop reference book --- this is it. But like other reference books, this one may sit, unused on your desk gathering dust. It's a painfully dry read guaranteed to put you to sleep at night.
Rating: - good first book to the language - incomplete review
I bought this book for a class i'm taking. We're roughly 1/4 of the way through the class, so i have not fully utilized the book.
However, i would like to say that the early chapters do an EXCELLENT job of going over the basics in detail. For example: i had totally forgotten how most computers represent negative numbers (two's complement) and why. This book explained it to me in about a page and a half.
Having already programmed in a few, similar languages, it was painful ... Read More
Rating: - Great Introduction to Java
This is a nice book for Java beginners, especially for those who have some experience with C++. The first part discusses the basic Java language syntax and features. Mr. Schildt illustrates each of his points with some short pieces of codes and gives some insight about the reason why Java works the way it does. The second part of the book is about the Java libraries, and the third part goes into advanced topics about building applications with Java. I think reading the first part will get someone started ... Read More
Rating: - A useful guide for JAVA Programmer - beginner and experts
Trovo Shildt un autore fenomale e in questo libro lo si nota in modo evidente.
Questo libro si offre come reference per il linguaggio JAVA e si merita il titolo che si e' dato. Copre moltissimi argomenti, approfondendo dove e' necessario.
E' aggiornato all'ultima edizione di JAVA.
Lo consiglio a chi inizia ad addentrarsi nella programmazione in linguaggio JAVA, ma ha gia' una consistente base di approccio orientato agli oggetti.

Rating: - Great book
I have read a lot of books on Java, but this was the best one. There are hundreds of books on Java and its technologies, some are good, some not so much but "Java - The Complete Reference" was the book I ever wanted. The author explains very clear the language and its new features added in Java SE 5 and improvements in Java SE 6. I like all books written by Herbert Schildt, he is my preferred author of programming books.
Thanks to Herbert Schildt for this book, keep up good work.
