If you are wanting to learn Java, this book is a perfect place to start. I personally had a little programming knowledge before taking a Java class, but as you may know Java is a bit different, because it uses objects.Because Java is an object oriented programming language, it can make it difficult to understand. Big Java takes things step by step, teaching you how to use each method correctly. If you are new to programming, and this is the first language you are learning, do not worry. This book is very detailed on how to get started, and also gives you hands on examples to try out for yourself. I would recommend doing each example, and every quiz the book gives, because with any programming language practice makes perfect.There are not to many things wrong with this book, but the little things that you may want to keep in mind when reading it are these:1. The book may not follow what you are learning in class (if you are taking an intro to Java class).2. The book also jumps into some simple graphic features pretty fast, but this will help you in the long run.3. Unlike an instructor, if you get stuck or are confused about something, the only help would be from someone that knows Java well.Even with the little cons the book is amazing. It helped me to better understand concepts that were covered in my Intro to Java Course. Sometime an instructor is rushed on time, so having a book like this can save you the trouble of guessing what to do. There are also to many concepts and words in Java to try and learn, it is impossible to memorize everything in the Java Library. But with Big Java, you can learn important concepts, and key words in a detailed enough way to help you remember them.
