Introduction to Java Programming, Comprehensive (5th Edition)

Rating:
Summary: High quality writing, very nicely written and organized.
Review: I loved how the author used diagrams and step-by-step code snippets with plenty of annotation leading to the full code. Sounds like any other good java book out there, but for some reason the reading was smooth and logical. His use of class diagrams helps the reader not get lost in the maze of classes and packages. I loved the Java I/O chapter. Thourough and clear treatment! This book contains rich, color illustrations. The book uses high quality paper which gave the book a heavy feel.
