Rating:  - A great book with a misleading title
I've been programming in Java for the last year and half, and Learning Java is the book I've been turning to most after picking up the rudiments from other sources. This 900+ page book is great for a reference on almost any Java topic. It is well written, and the authors generally do a very good job cutting through to the important aspects of each topic.

Rating: - Ahh a delight for your mind

And most of the time you end up dropping the book.
This book is definitely different
Doesn't focus on teaching programming like a text for university course? ... Read More
