This book should be called "How not to teach Java". No index, terrible examples, confusing table of contents...do i have to go on?

This book was recommended for my course. It is very poor indeed. The first few chapters which cover the basics aren't too bad, but things very quickly become awfull. Unnecessary complications are introduced into simple programs, and not explained at all well. The author plunges into each chapter without introducing any basic concepts. In the graphics chapter, nothing is said about setting up a graphics object - the second page is already talking about methods in the package. Not only has this book not helped me one bit in learning Java, it has actually hindered it. You have been warned.

This textbook is recommended in one of my first year modulesin the University.It is very difficult to understand and totally useless to someone who is trying to learn java with no programming .But I guess for an experienced programmer,the book could be of some use, because of its explantions and different usagesof java.But that is when you have mastered the basics.This is really not an introductory text.I found the text java for students much better suited for my needs

Nothing to say....Just poor This is my textbook in my java course,but now I want to throw it to trashcan. I would rather read "Core Java". It's really a good book.
