After looking at several Java books, I have to say this is, by far, the most helpful Java programming book for beginners. This particular book was highly recommended by a teacher which uses the book for his Java class. After trying a couple quick starter Java guides, I realized I still did not fully grasp the concept nor be able to write a simple program. You can't take shortcuts and you must put in many hours if you are learning programming for the first time. If you want to 'correctly' learn programming for the first time this book is it. Any other book would simply serve as a supplement to this one.
I love everything about it. I bought this book because I am taking a java class and this is the book we use.
