I was able to learn Java (my first programming language) from this book by myself through distance education...so I guess it means it is good!

Note: Years later, looking back, I don't think it was very well-written. It needed to have a better structure for an introductory code book. As someone who didn't have any previous mindset regarding programming, it took me awhile before I "got it". I feel the whole concept of programming and how things are laid out and the basic elements could have been developed to aid the reader more easily.

Nothing...this book is rather worthless.
