Good for beginners who don't know anything at all about programming.
Those who have at least 2 years of programming experience, might not be very interested in this book since it covers basics only.

A good book for beginners, intermediate developers if they want to review their java, but I would like to add a bit more details sometimes in chapters unrelated stuff comes up and a lot of times become convoluted. The great thing is a lot of exercises ( but need solutions a lot of times too some questions become a headache to solve also because the author is using graphics to print output from the start not console ).
I would recommend but these are some points I would like to highlight

What a horribly convoluted and badly written book! The activities at the end of the chapter are so unbelievably stupid! It has things such as:

Just below the newly entered declaration for oneSite, add an integer declaration as follows:

int siteNum;

and "Between the curly braces, type: ..."

It makes it so hard to read. Just show the code!

I am sure there are much better Java books than this one out there. I was not impressed, but did learn quite a bit.
