This book is not a comprehensive guide but covers a large amount of the java programming language in its 419 pages. The text is easy to read but parts of it may have to be read a couple times to fully grasp the concepts. has many code samples as well as full working programs. There is a quiz at the end of each chapter and Activities that test your knowledge of what has been covered so far. This book does a great job explaining most concepts but others are to large to cover completely in this book after all you can only cover so much in a single book. A good starter book some of it runs through java concepts but gives good explanations of all concepts so a basic understanding is grasped of the more complex concepts. Text covers applets, independent java programs, errors, exceptions, calculations, user interfaces, using java and HTML/XHTML (does not teach these languages just uses them to implement java into web pages), creating web services, storing information, using basic graphics with java, Arrays, OOP (object oriented programming), Inheritance, and Variables.
I strongly suggest this book if you want a basic to advanced understanding of java 6 or aren't sure if you want to learn java as this book touches on almost all of java 6. I don't suggest getting his other book Sams Teach Yourself Java 6 in 21 Days (5th Edition) as it is a frustrating book to learn form for most people and considered error-us.
