    5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I expected

    About book: Bought a print version. Very satisfied with sheets and print quality. The book is massive, soft cover, so consider this fact. Also, prepare a pack of colorful stickers, you'll definitely need them.
    About content: exactly what I expected, a reference, a book excessively describing the tool - java with its standard library. Basic stuff coverage is great. But if you want to dive deeper into some topics like lambda or modules, use one of those great specialised books.
    With a reference, it's easy to recall checked exceptions or methods of the Object, for example. This books shows you what modules are and basic usage of them, but it won't tell you about best practices of structuring your application l neither it challenge you with tricky exercises to solidify your understanding of just covered material. So, also consider this if you are new to OOP or programming.
    In short: I consider this book to be useful for both newbies and experienced developers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book
    Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2019

    I am an experienced software developer who have 20+ year experiences. I have read a lot of books teaching various programming languages. I think this is the best programming book I have ever read. It provides detailed information in almost every aspects of the language. It provides reasonable and persuasive explanations for the reasons why Java is designed in the way now, rather than just teaches the language. In this way, it makes learning the language to be much easier.

    In addition, almost all examples in this book are short, straightforward and easy to understand. They are simply used to help explain the concepts and programming skills being taught, rather than to focus too much on being practical. This is another excellent aspect of the book. Once I read a C++ book which spent a lot of efforts to make its examples to be practical. This caused many of its examples to be quite long, complicated and hard to understand. This book is much much better than that C++ book.

    I'm a software professional, an M.S. in Computer Science and worked in large project environments. I've taught at the college level. My last Java effort was over six years ago. I wanted to get back to it and wanted a text that would cover the language AND also point out recent improvements/changes. I'm a bit mystified by some of the reviews. I consider myself very picky regarding reference books, this one is excellent -- but if you are a pure beginner, get a simpler text to get you started....

    The author does an outstanding job. Beautiful intro covering Java history and releases. An orderly presentation of the language with great explanations and syntax example. At each language feature, he covers recent changes and new capabilities they present. It was exactly what I needed to get me back into the language and ready
    for the next project...

    As a programmer and computer scientist, I think this book is the most comprehensive java book written in a very clear and crisp way. The examples provided are super helpful and make you to FULLY understand the concept. Some point made in the book makes you learn the most important parts of programming that would help you out with your coding exercises in the future. If you want to get a deep insight into java core includes Generics, Interfaces, Inheritance, Classes, Packages, etc as well as basic programming concepts don't hesitate to buy this book. I was new to Java when I started reading this book and now I have learned a lot a lot from this book.

    It is exciting to receive this book with high-quality content. It is like a Java dictionary and there are 1,200 pages. You can refer to the chapter you are interested in. The paper quality is also good. In summary, it is nice to reserve a Java dictionary at a reasonable price.

    Learning Java online right now through codegym and this book has helped clear up so much for me. Every topic is explained very thoroughly with examples of where you will use particular commands or code and why they are used there's well as how often you will have to use them. Absolutely brilliant!

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 14, 2021
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I was using this to teach myself Java and I found the explanations very clear and the examples well worth completing. You need to have an IDE to make the most of this, Eclipse is excellent and fully functioned but difficult to learn. It also helps to have had previous programming experience as much of the book assumes that you understand various programming constructs but need to learn how to handle them in Java.
