[Simon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Simple introduction to available features of Java. Useful sections on the basics of the language, Security, JNI, JVM, Packages, Interfaces, Threading. More useful for reading if you fancy a refresher on Java, or you're a complete beginner. You'll need a more practical guide if you wish to get into programming Java so I'll give it 3 stars for that! Also sections on Borland maybe not so useful these days? I'm sure more people are using Eclipse now. Feel free to correct me!
