Okay, I've bought many books to teach me Java Object Oriented programming (at least 15 books; honestly I'm not kidding! From Java for Dummies to O'Reilly to Core Java and many others). The thing about those books is that they didn't teach you the fundamentals (if you're a beginner programmer) of programming. Although do not get me wrong this book is a SERIOUS book for a SERIOUS reader. I can guarantee that if you read this book you'll have a better understanding of OOP in Java. But one thing is I don't recommend reading it tired or drowsy simply because of the complexity it goes into. But, most definitely if you want to learn OOP, this is the book for you.

If you are a hardcore "geek" type where you love programming and books with a dry technical nature then this is for you. If you're like the rest of us, you'll have to move on from this. I'm using this in my Java class and it's just got me lost because it's pretty boring and I'm a visual learner. My background is web design but moving my way into development and programming. I have done some programming and when it's laid out to me properly, I don't have any problems. However, when it's very boring and "just there" then there are problems. I purchased "Head First Java" and even though I'm only part way in, page 40, I'm gotten more out of it than the class has given me. Not to mention my teacher is dry so that's a lose lose combination. I had to go beyond that class and class' book to get the information I need!
