This book is the only source of my prerequisite and intensive course as a Master's student in computer science. It will guides you through Java from absolute beginner to an intermediate programmer.
The author has explained every point in details and has given an excellent projects to be done by the student.
It worth buying it.

Review: Absolute Java

A concise, complete book for those who already know a lot about programming. A good reference, but perhaps a little curt for those of us who need more hand-holding. Read full review
