Java How-To: The Definitive Java Problem-Solver

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introductory book to Java
Very easy to read and understand yet it is packed with lots of great code samples and useful stuff one can apply immediately. Was up and ready for java programming within 2 weeks and allowed me to buy more specific java books, such as java beans and java networking, for further enrichment.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too many errors and inadequate examples
There were errors in the code that a beginner would not catch in the first section of the book. Also, the examples given were too complicated for the topic being explored. (You don't need a 200-lined program to demonstrate using arrays). There are many other beginner books out there that far surpass this one. Find one.
