5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book, December 6, 2004

By	Chris P (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

Mr. DePasquale clearly knows JAVA and understands the concepts and implementation. Being a relative newbie to JAVA, I use this book often for reference when I am programming. The book offers great examples.

I would ***HIGHLY*** recommend this book and the price is right. I paid more for it at another store :-(

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful but limited, October 2, 2007

By	Vanessa Moore (St. Petersburg, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I used this book as a reference in an introductory Java class. In most cases, it was extremely useful, but there were also many times when I couldn't find a particular topic I was looking for. Since it is a "backpack guide," you would probably find it useful to use this in conjunction with a more traditional textbook that goes into more detail on more topics. This is nice to use as a simple, quick reference.
