Everything that is covererd in the book is explained very clearly and there are a ton of code examples. The questions at the end of each chapter are challenging by just the right amount so they all make sense, but none are too easy. <br /> <br />If you want to learn Java and have no prior experience programming I'd recommend this book.

I sleep though class half the time and am still ahead just by reading this. Kind of upset though because the teacher provides us with powerpoint and they are made by this company and is basicaly the book in powerpoint. Good textbook kind of expensive.

Now I'm scrambling to find it before my daughter starts college. It's now listed used for over $20.00 more!

No wonder they canceled my order. RIP OFF ARTIST!

The description clearly states the book is a hard cover but no hard cover is available. I tried resolving the issue with Amazon, but all they did was send ANOTHER soft cover. <br /> <br />For $100 you should get what you were told you were going to get. Other then being VERY VERY VERY disapointed with my Amazon experience, the book reads well and is ok for the very beginner. <br /> <br />Over all I was not impressed by the book, or by Amazon's attempt to resolve my problem.
