This book rules!!!

What other intro book covers JDBC and database basics, accessing data in servlets, Remote Method Invocation (RMI) clients and servers, Java socket classes, internationalization, packages, JAR files and deployment, introduction to object-oriented programming, and cryptography basics in less then 300 pages!!!!Well written and quickly adsorbable. Unlike the other reviewer, I am glad she covered Objects at the end of the book. This allows you to see some real word examples before diving into theory. It is a much better way to learn.Even if you know Java and want to learn more about some of the so called 'advanced topics' covered in this book(servers, servlets, sockets, rmi, ect), you can use this book as a quick intro.

Clear, crisp, concise

Great book for beginners. Our entire development team was initiated into Java programming using the author's tutorials..Author has tremendous ability to deal with abstract concepts with ease - without compromising on depth, clarity or effectiveness. Her greatest asset seems to be the gift of keeping things simple and short. The Java world is inundated with plenty of verbose literature and brevity is always welcome ...Monica makes an outstanding effort in that direction.

Learn Java by doing...

I am using this book along with other books to study for Java certification. It is quite helpful and practical. The explanations to do a very good job of condensing the large Java language into smaller more digestable concepts. It has lot's of good hands on examples. With explanations. I recommend this book to Java beginners and anyone who would like to learn more by example.
