This book distinguishes itself from other Java titles in that it does not assume prior programming experience and introduces object-oriented techniques early and explores them extensively. The book is interspersed with step-by-step exercises illustrating the concepts as they are explained. Java applications, using JDK, are introduced prior to applets so a user has a more thorough understanding of the programming process. Java applications are built from the beginning, rather than having the user manipulate pre-written objects.
This is a great book to help you learn Java Programming. Unfortunately, it is part of a course system, so you cannot get the answers to the questions and exercises unless you are part of that course. This dramatically decreases the usefulness of this book. I wish I knew a way around this limitation.
Very Good

After Reading this book, I felt I understand what programming is and especially the Graphics User Interface is most vividly described. Maybe because I have no programming experience and is eager to know what Java is about that I find this book useful in trying to understand what Java is all about. I sincerely recommed this book to beginners.
