9 books in 1... All it really is is the good books that you should have stripped and thrown into one book and haphazardly executed. This book was an utter waste of $30 I spent on it. I do not recommend this book at all you won't really learn anything out of it. If you really want to learn Java go pick up the "Think In Java 4/e" by Bruce Eckel. I'll state it again this book is poorly executed and DEFINITELY is NOT made for a reference...

By far the best intro to Java I have ever encountered, detailed explanations of java programming concepts, followed by example code. Written in the tongue-in-cheek humor typical of Dummies books, even after becoming a highly experienced java programmer, you'll always keep this book within an arm's length of your computer.

when i took c programming, i tried the all in one desk reference for c. it was a godsend. so when i took java a semester later, i eagerly bought this book hoping it would work the same miracles. it did not. it doesn't focus so much on the OOP aspects of java, and frankly is very confusing. i was quite dissapointed.

Rating: - Great Java starter book
This book was all I needed to learn Java. Great examples. Good explanations with the right dose of humor. I didn't think it was your typical dummies book. It did have the basics, but it was very thorough. Everything you need to know to get started. Even scratches the surface with J2EE.
Rating: - First Dummies book--pleasantly surprised!
Been a programmer for a long time but first time trying to learn Java.
This book has been very useful. I think it is very easy to find information on a lot of topics, and the examples are pretty good. Can DOWNLOAD example source code [big PLUS!!].
