Great book covers all the nuts and bolts of java, a single book covering the basic of Java language, syntax, programming and its packages.
Schildt puts it in one of the most easiest and simplest ways possible for somebody coming from C programming we can just skim the book and dwell into the advanced topics in a quick and easily in matter of hours and not days.
Thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

It proved useful to me at the time (about four years ago) but I would probably not like this sort of book if handed to me now.
