Summary: Overrated and Overpriced
Review: Sadly, I was required to purchase this book for an introductory Java course. The concepts presented are too basic to justify the price for this book, if purchased new. You can just as easily learn the same concepts from the excellent tutorials available online at Sun's, IBM's and other's websites for beginning Java developers. If you insist on a book, I suggest Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in Java," which is cheaper in print and also available at no cost as a PDF download.

Summary: Just a pure cup of Java with an extra lump of fun!
Review: Simply THE BEST book to learn Java and object oriented programming. The concise examples and easy to follow instructions set all other Java books = null; Advanced topics are made simple with helpful and fun examples such as, "NoCockroaches!". Java Programming Today even includes the Java Development Kit and one of the best programming editors out there. Everything you need to get started is in this book.
