    3.0 out of 5 stars review
    Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2005
    Format: Paperback
    I found this to be a rather good book for learning Java in a course

    environment. If I had to learn Java on my own however, this book

    would not be my first choice. It is rather difficult to read

    through though, I found the preface to be interesting.

    If it had more examples, and exercises that the reader could work

    through this book could be an even better resource. As it is, I

    used it mainly as a reference book to augment, and help clarify what

    I learned in my course. Still, there were times when my professor's

    specification would require the use of a particular class that he

    expected you to learn from the recommended text. The recommended

    text would have examples of these, but usually Learning Java, 2nd

    Ed. did not. In fairness though, the professor may have chosen

    those particular classes knowing that the examples would be in the

    text.

    Lack of examples aside, it did a fairly good job of explaining Java,

    and Object Oriented programming tasks. Still, for the beginner

    learning Java in an unstructured environment, a different text may

    be more suited.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good, broad overview
    Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2002
    Format: Paperback
    Approaching this book as a C/C++ programmer with essentially no knowledge of Java, I was not disappointed. "Learning Java" provides a broad overview of the many facets of Java, and it makes sure to point to other resources when the coverage is superficial. While many topics *are* only covered superficially, the sheer size of the Java APIs makes this necessary; at 826 pages, the book is certainly not a piece of fluff.
    Contrary to many reviewers' opinions, I appreciated the conceptual overview that preceded the more concrete chapters; I find that addressing the 'why' first makes the 'how' more intuitive. If you disagree, just skip to Chapter 4 to get started with language constructs!
    This book does not always spoonfeed the material; some of the examples require analysis to 'get'; however, I found the accompanying explanations to be sufficient, and I learn more when I have to pay attention. There are plenty of other reference books out there that provide more fluff...
    My biggest complaint about "Learning Java" is the lack of attention paid to the examples. Several of them had small, silly errors that prevented them from working as written. For instance, one of the intro examples had a method call that didn't match the signature. In a later chapter, a variable was referenced by an incorrect name. In each case, I was able to fix the problem without difficulty, but it illustrates the lack of attention to detail. When one of the first examples in the book won't compile as written, you are bound to frustrate some readers.
    Also, formatting in the examples could be challenging. The coding style tends to be compact and perhaps confusing when learning the language. A few times, indentation was just plain wrong, making transcription and understanding difficult.
    Despite the weaknesses, I remain fond of this book. After reading it, I feel that I know Java well enough to dive into more complex topics on my own. A review by a careful and knowledgeable editor would probably win over some naysayers.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Suitable for experienced readers
    Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2003
    Format: Paperback
    I have experience in C but not C++. Prior to this I tried to read Eckel's thinking in java which I found to be overly pedantic and at times, irritating (with many exercises trying to display arcane syntactic or semantic points). In comparison this book is very refreshing and I feel I am learning new stuff really easily.
    This book is dense but motivates using simple code. Explanations may not be complete (esp in Chap 2) but really this is a good compromise.
    This is definitely for someone with a background in programming (preferably in C or C++). Ideally one should have a programmers editor on and keep trying the code snippets as one reads (which is why the online version at safari.orielly.com is handy). So, in a sense, this book is not for the uninititated. But for those who have some exposure this is well worth the money and effort.
    The author also has a useful open source tool (BeanShell) which suggests some depth.
    Some Tips for readers new to java on windows:
    1. Download and install jdk 1.4.x
    2. Get a simple programmers editor (editplus.com for example)
    3. Get Jikes compiler as a replacement for javac (copy it to the jdk bin directory) as its really fast and use it to compile within the editor.
    4. Make sure your classpath and path variables are set properly. The former could include the jdk jre/lib/rt.jar and . the current directory; the latter could include the jdk bin dir. in XP these can be set using the controlpanel advanced setting for environment variables
    Once you can experiment with the code as you read, it becomes more interesting.
    I would say the book deserves at least 4 stars; I am giving it a 5 to offset some really low ratings :-)
