Rating:  - Excellent book if you know a few things about programming
This book covers almost everything (that fits inside one volume) in Java. Very concise and precise, but needs some prior experience in any high level progamming language. Very good examples. This book help me a lot to dive fast in the Java's deep waters.
Rating: - Ahh a delight for your mind
I have been working in this industry for past five years, I have been addicted to buying books on programming, The trouble with most of the books is that they don't focus on people who are programmers, They just re-hash for-loop while-loop its really irritating to read such topics in say 1 hour that you can squeeze out of your time. 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?
The style of narrative is super and free-flowing. It is easy to read say 100 pages per day
The examples are quite stylish and don't have the dummies approach.
The authors have depth knowledge abt what they are talking
In all a good book if your bit experienced in java/C++ or even C
(Newcomers should start with books like head-first java or C++ by lafore before taking up this material)
There is one definite short coming this books some times doesn't covers very complicated topics; and definitively you can't hope to use it as an reference.
Hope the authors write a book on advance java topics that can be read after finishing this book
Rating: - Good survey style introduction to Java technologies
Learning Java provides a good introduction to the Java technologies that make up J2SE. While most of the sections does not go into enough detail to fully cover the area (and that would be impossible without making the book a multi volume effort) they provide enough detail to form the basis of further research.
The section on Java the language provides enough detail to get you up and running if you already know another object oriented language such as C++ or C# but it will not be sufficient for complete beginners.
But in terms of what it tries to cover as a set of overviews, it succeeds well.
Rating: - This isn't just a tutorial for beginners
Patrick Niemeyer and Jonathan Knudsen's Learning Java appears in its 3rd updated edition to cover J2SE 5.0. This isn't just a tutorial for beginners: it moves from a basic introduction and application examples all the way to advanced topics such as advanced Java 5.0 features and writing threaded programs. So don't expect a simple introduction - though the lessons are designed as a 'classroom in a book' - chapters are quite technical and Java programmers with programming backgrounds will be pleased with its depth.
