Incredibly detailed overview of the capabilities of the Java language. A bit overwhelming at times, but finds focus with several code examples. I'd recommend Head First Java as your first Java book, but if you're looking for a more contemporary look at the language, this is a great next book.
This is the best edition of this book so far. Great for those who know some programming and know some Java.
