Comments about oreilly Head First Java, 2nd Edition:

it is a awesome book i love the approach that they have, but there is nothing more irritating then a book that have not been cleared of its bugs, i would have expected that after 6 years that have at least fixed the bugs in the PDF version, at this state i would say don't bother buy it, it will kill the learning process.

This is an extremely accessible and readable introduction to Java. Other reviewers issued complaints about support materials being absent or subpar, and while I agree that even some of the included code had errors, I feel it is a credit to the authors and the huge majority of the text that I was able to discern where the problems lay, and resolve them by applying what I had learned to that point.

I am still struggling with some more (relatively) advanced topics, such as how to use packages created by other people, but that seems somewhat beyond this book's scope. I consider it a credit to the authors, again, that only about two weeks after starting with ZERO Java experience, I'm even able to form those kinds of questions and look for their answers.

Long time no programming in Java, and this book allowed me to remember all aspects of OO and more advanced things about Java.
Fully recommended!

it's an excellent job by kathy,

really i was addicted to read the HEAD_FIRST BOOKS since the day one of my reading of HeadFirst JAVA;
After i read this book, i bought 5 other head first series books like HF-servlets, Hf-sql, Hf-design patterns, Hf-EJB, Hf-Html...

if u want to learn the java REALLY,, there is no other option.

JUST BUY "HEAD-FIRST JAVA" only.
