Java Programming Complete Concepts and Techniques

Rating:
Summary: Good but outdated
Review: This book is good for beginning programmers or for those who wanted to learn Java. The book is very detailed about the methodology of programming and such. However, as you continue along in the book (about chapter 3) you start finding more and more code errors in the examples you are working with. It makes it really hard to learn if the examples are wrong. Also, the Author doesn't follow his own rules in his consistancy of variable naming. I wouldn't buy this book if you are trying to learn the most current version of java and techniques. I would buy it if you are interested in learning the fundamentals of programming.
