Summary: Buy this book to learn Java as you would in a classroom
Comment: This is a good book for learning Java as you would in a course. It is a textbook.
To talk about other reviewers' comments, this is not an OO book. This is not a book about programming methodology. It is simply a book that explains how Java is used to write programs. The programs themselves are not the subject as much as how they are written using Java.
I think that some of the criticisms leveled in this page are quite unfair. I am a technical team leader with 5 years experience in IT programming. I have both bachelor's and master's degrees in CS. I have worked in C++ and C for a long time. Yet I liked this book because of its examples and code. I also enjoyed the exercises.
I wish the book were smaller and less expensive. The CD-ROM is really unnecessary if the authors had provided the software on their web site. Also if all the Java links in the book's appendices were on the authors' web site, it would have saved some more trees. I sometimes wish the Deitels had written with greater brevity. There are also some really silly errors like lists that start with (h) instead of (a) in the self-review exercises (looks like Microsoft Word did them in. Also looks like their editor did a rush job).
Don't mistake me -- this is a good book to learn Java from. If you are looking to learn OO or looking to learn algorithms or even how programs ought to be written, look elsewhere.

Summary: An Authority in Java Programming
Comment: Well organized and a very good value for money if you as a beginner or a intermediate programmer
would really want to dig into Java, I would recommend this book..
I have been looking for a while for books with emphasis on topics like RMI,Multithreading,JMF and JDBC and i must say the coverage of this book simply blows me away.. With over 1,300 in pages of step by step information with emphasis on every written line on the code(and I mean every line!!)..The coverage of extended classes and the Abstract Windowing Toolkit classes is phenomenal..I particularly liked the Multitier Applications Using JDBC from a servlet. Mind you people that this book is robust and precise since the only problem i encountered was in the update functionality and the serializatin in the transaction processing of the File and Streams Example but the deitel website provides the errata correction for that so no problem di ba? ..Im a big fan of the deitel's and i must say I thank world the Deitel's exist..Java rules...Mga Amaw gwapo ko!!!!

Summary: Heavy book, but not much to learn from.
Comment: This book is unbelievably heavy but very shallow. (I feel sorry for the trees!) At first I thought it's not that bad, so I brought it to my office for reference. Every time I needed to look up something, I dug thru over 1000 pages and found nothing. After that, I never laid my fingers on this book again. It's been sitting collecting dust on my shelf for over 2 years. I want to sell it, but man, lots of people are selling it for under 2 bucks. I spent over ... and didn't get anything in return. Believe it or not, it's so heavy that you wouldn't want to carry arround. In the final analysis, you can carry a brick in your backbag and it would have the same effect. It's not worth your money!
