 The best Java textbook. Good for beginners. Jun 27, 2007
By Andrew
If you're new to programming and are considering which book to buy, it is essential to consider that many good books (such as Head First Java, Core Java, Just Java, and The Java Tutorial) are meant for experienced programmers who need insight into Java's more complicated concepts. These aren't textbooks for students. But Tony Gaddis's books are, and this book is no exception; in fact, it is the best Java textbook I have ever bought. This book is loaded with examples, exercises, case studies, and projects. It has everything from loops to linked lists, and it does not neglect GUIs by placing GUI topics to an optional section at the end of the chapter or in the last chapters of the book. This book will also serve you well as a reference book and as preparation for the SCJP certificate. I have also bought Gaddis's Starting Out with C++ From Control Structures through Objects, 5th Edition, and I am quite willing to recommend, sight unseen, any book that Gaddis writes.

very thorough, good for beginners Jan 03, 2011
By Yve
This is a good book for someone just learning java, it follows a logical sequence, explains things well and does not assume a lot of previous knowledge.

Good But... Oct 06, 2010
By G. J. Henry
Yes, I think this book is a really good book for those beginning Java. The one problem I have, and probably some may not agree, is that the book should have a little more examples so that it can cover all the bases that a new student might encounter. Other than that, it's a good book.

Excellent Text Dec 14, 2009
By I. Stewart
I used this book in an freshman level programming course and again in a sophomore level course. It's written really well and contains excellent example code and practice problems. The book builds programming knowledge from the ground-up by explaining concepts in ways that are easy to understand but doesn't slack on depth or content. The CD packaged inside contains every code sample in the book as well additional appendices not included in the text. I would recommend it primarily for beginners but it's an extremely good book overall.

Great Java book for beginners Dec 29, 2008
By USA reader
Java is not a lightweight subject. This book gives a good introduction to Java and then goes into a lot more detail in working with the programming language.
The chapters provide numerous programming examples which a student of Java will need in order to learn Java. The chapter code on the CD was especially helpful. I used this code in my compiler (jGrasp) to learn new techniques and create additional programs.
Just note this book (August 2006) is a little dated. It uses an older version of the jdk. But the explanations and examples are right on the money.
