Clearly written with detailed examples of functional code. The book would be better for newbies if each section about a new skill was accompanied with an example of when the skill would be useful in a real world business, gaming, or research problem. But overall, it is both a comprehensive intro and complete reference.

This is just a masterpiece. This is how I began to learn Java and I fell in love with it. I started Java as my first language and I am proud to say that I started from here.
