[Memo · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a good book for someone looking to understand Java for the first time. The version I read talked about Java 1.5 (current is 1.7), so some methods and capabilities have changed.

PROS:
+ Easy and straight-forward way to approach new concepts.
+ Enforces object oriented thinking.
+ Covers most of the useful Java capabilities used in college (80% I would say)

CONS:
- Uses an old version, if you can get the new edition of the book it would be better.
- Lack of examples forces you to have a second book to get mo experience or go online.
- Some examples are incomplete and you have to figure out how to make them work (maybe this was intended by the writer?)

Lots of typos, and one major mistake in how the author explains how the switch statement works. First impression was that the book was not worth reading. However, I have learned to appreciate it for its overview of Java concepts. It is useful as a precursor to reading more detailed presentations of the material. I find myself going back and reading it quite often.
