    This is an excellent book. The title describes it as "A Short Course on the Basics", and one might thus think that it would be a good book for beginners. Beginners will find themselves getting quickly in over their heads shortly after getting past page 100 of this 800-page book. It is an excellent reference for those with experience in computer programming who want to use Java. The authors are or were members of the Oracle Corporation staff and are Java authorities.

    The material is based on an online tutorial on the Oracle Corporation web site. Program listings used in the book are included there and can be run in the NetBeans IDE. I found this to be very helpful, as I could thus modify and explore them.

    A great book for beginners. Different from other books, this book do not suppose the reader have any knowledge about programming language. The way this book introduce knowledge is always "instantiated" with analogues which make my understanding much easier. The conventions are also mentioned, such as use of "$" is not used although it is legit. There are plenty of code examples and questions and exercises.

    This is the book I'm looking for. Thanks, authors.

    This is an awesome Java SE 8 book, but if you are new in this domain and I mean The Programming Languages Domain, you should learn C and C++ and especially the Templates in C++ because this book, and from the first chapters, give you an advanced examples which a new one can't understand them, but generally it's a book from the Java producers and it cover every thing in Java SE 8 so don't think and just buy it.

    GOOD LUCK :)

    If you have experience in programming this is a great book for you. However, unless you are a prodigy, this book is not for someone who is completely new to programming and coding. The concepts are not taught in an order that builds from chapter to chapter. Some of the examples use concepts that are chapters ahead. Good book overall though.
