4.0 out of 5 stars good tutorial, hopeless reference
The nice thing about this book is the examples are much closer to real-world problems you might tackle than the contrived examples you find in other texts. This is a very PRACTICAL book.

The main problem with it is its age. It needs to be re-released to cover JDK 1.1 and 1.2

1.0 out of 5 stars Do NOT buy this book
I had to buy this book for a Java course in college. That is the only reason I have it! I breezed through this book at the checkout and knew it was a mistake. The index is horrible. If you want to read a lot about Java then get this (personally, I'd rather read a Stephen King novel). If you want to learn Java buy another book. This book is not concise enough for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction to Java., March 27, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Java Programming EXplorer: Everything You Need to Develop Internet Applications with the Java Programming Language (Paperback)
Works great as an introductory lesson to Java. Each section must be followed through to get a grasp of its concept. The index is very sparse, so it makes a bad reference book
