This is a great book for a fast, independent learners. If you tend to understand things by reading things on your own, without the help or guidance of another person, then you will like this book. The book is supplemented with exercises during chapter topics, and practice problems (with explanations) at the end of each chapter. In addition to having this book, you should also be in front of a computer, programming along as you go. The only way to learn Computer Science is through theory and coding. However, I still think this book needs some work. Some topics can get tricky (Inheritance, Abstract Classes, Arrays, etc.). In order to fully understand these fundamental topics, you may need to read up on it somewhere else. Overall, this is a great book for independent learners.

It's really good. Really.
But it does lack a few things.
At the beginning, it would be really nice to have a page behind the table of contents with the percentage ogoff the AP test that is covered by that section.
Also, a few complicated sections (EX floating numbers) couldve used better explanations
Finally, it couldve used a glossary, for dealing with the java and programming lingo. For newbies.
