If you have absolutely no knowledge of
Java and:
1) want to learn Java 2 (J2SE) in a non-threatening way,
2) don't have
alot of $$$ to spend on a book
3) don't mind that Swing is not covered
-->then run to buy this book!
I like how Schildt builds upon the reader's knowledge of the basics before
moving on to the more difficult concepts. His explanations embedded in the code
examples is very helpful. His coverage pertaining to classes, methods,
inheritance, and
polymorphism is very comprehensive.
I found his style of writing very clear and the font easy to read. Unlike some
other books, I did not find errors in the text.
As the title implies, this IS very much a beginner's book but a very good one!
