2.0 out of 5 stars
There is better,
By S. Stanicki (Michigan) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Java: The Complete Reference, J2SE 5 Edition (Paperback)
I thought this book would help me learn Java when I first bought it, but I think the examples are skimpy. A more complete reference and tutorial is Cay Horstman's and Gary Cornell's 7 ed. of Core Java 2: Volumes 1 and 2. These 2 volumes have great examples, and go more in-depth into Java. Skip Schildt's book, and buy the Core Java Volumes even if you need just a reference. You will be happier, and learn more.

This review is from: Java: The Complete Reference, J2SE 5 Edition (Paperback)
This book as the name suggest gives you complete overview for learning and understanding Java. It clearly points out the differences between Java 1.4 and Java 1.5 (J2SE 5.0). It highlights the important points and gives introduction to Swings, Servlets and a good financial application using java.
Good for any beginner !!
