Rating:  - Seems specifically designed to confuse beginners.
Although this book purports to be written for anyone with even a little bit of prior programming experience, I am finding it very difficult to follow. This, even though I have been dabbling in programming since 1976 and I have gotten 'A's in several programming classes.
The author makes three major mistakes all throughout the book:
First, he uses compressed code formating that makes it difficult to see where one part of the code ends and another starts. I know it ... Read More

Ok, I have read about 200 textbooks or better in my day, 20 - 30 or so in the programming area, and I have to say this was the worst text book I have ever looked at. It was poorly written and poorly organized.
Rating:  - Thinking in Java, 4th edition
This is a beginner addressed book on Java: if you are already skilled in programming with procedural or even OO language, you'll find this book very useful.
The text is very simple and clear, the examples are incisive and at the end of each chapter you'll find a couple of exercises that can be very useful to focus the concepts.
A "thinking in enterprise java" would be a great successor to this good book.
5 stars!
Rating: - Comprehesive Java Tutorial
Thinking in Java is a quite comprehensive book for intermediate to advanced level for Java programmers. Each chapter can be read individually in order to learn inner details of Java 5/6 language. This is not a book for a new comer to Java language.
Rating:  - A Bit Disappointed
Much of the code in the book is predicated on you using some of his custom libraries. As a result, you learn things his way, not necessarily the standard way to code Java.
