We used this book for a class I took this summer. It is very introductory, and spends most of the time talking about concepts like loops, arrays, etc, and only gets to GUI programming at the very end. It provided a good introduction into the Java language.

I could never get Java running in the source mode which is the most important thing for any newbie, but this book in the beginning us very clear and explicit. You can download all of the free script examples by the Jeff Heaton website. A very good and most simple + very concise explaining book!; But only one small drawback for me: the as soon as i got halfway (and even looked at the end) I think only the OOL concepts are very poorly written (and edited), but I guess this is common for any author who not knows how to tackle a certain difficult subject and I have had other authors that when learning programming, do this...... but other than that it is great fro getting it running and all of the basic commands are explained and the rest of the book is great !!!!!!!!!!!
