Reading this book is not a very pleasant experience. You can’t quickly look up any little thing you might want to know about whithout beeing forced to work through lots of excercises, examplecodes etc. Every explanation seem to refere to other parts of the book, and other excercises. The right way, and only way to read this book is to read it from cover to cover, and work through every single excercise. I quess that if you have the time and patience to do so, you will learn(that is why I rated it 2 instead of 1).
Another thing that buggs me is the way the text in the book is formatted. Important words are written with a very thin font, and this really disturbs the flow of reading.
I recommend the BlueJ software, it’s easy and helpful, but I don’t recommend this book, it’s frustrating and unhelpful.

This book is not bad for the beginner programer that wants to learn Java. My colleges is using it as a intro to computer science book. My personal opinion on the book is that it does teach u some of the java language but if you decide to program outside of the Bluej interface you will find yourself loss.

This is an excellent book learning OOP in Java. I am self learner, I found this book has good introduction to OOP concept early. What disappoint me was absence of answers to the chapter exercises which is very useful to check the answer to the exercises to enhance learning. Otherwise I would say the chapter exercises is slightly better than useless especially to those who has no ‘teacher’ to check the answer. The answer actually available online in the book’s website but for teachers only and password protected. I don’t understand why the answer to chapter exercises has to be a secret!!
