First off, this book is so cool! It’s written in the funniest possible way, so it makes what is usually a dry boring subject (learning to write any code can be made into the most ho-hum experience you’ve ever had) a delight.

It’s 700 pages of great content (give or take a few) and adorable illustrations. Its written clearly and although the reader should have some scripting knowledge, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand it.

The book begins by asserting that it is NOT a reference book and indeed it isn’t. The introduction tells you all the things you’ll need to have at hand before you get started and then plunges you into writing code with the first chapter. By the time you get to chapter 16, you’re very nearly an expert java programmer.

I highly recommend this book if you’ve ever thought about learning to write Java. You won’t be disappointed.
