At first I thought I did not understand this book because I did not understand java. I re-read almost every sentence. Then I did an online java mooc at mooc.fi and now I am re-reading this book. And I still think it is hard to understand. The problem is the style. The style is very very sloppy and informal. It makes me want to re-write almost every sentence. When learning a programming language and al sorts of new concepts, I need language to be very precise. This book is NOT. one example: "If an item with a low index number is removed, then the collection moves all subsequent items along by one position to fill in the gap." The problem for me is the wording 'with a low index number". This is bullshit. For starters , what is low and what is high is completely subjective. But what is more important: This happens when an item with ANY index number is removed, except when it is the last item with the HIGHEST POSSIBLE index number. This sort of sloppiness makes it very hard to understand what is MEANT instead of SAID. As if learning java is not hard enough by itself . Find another book or do a mooc.

This was the course material for the first semester of CS, and even though Java is maybe the language I know best, I still found parts of this book immensely useful. This is because it not only focuses on Java keywords and classes such as most introductory books do, but also on advanced design principles for classes and systems of classes. Chapter 8 and 15 gave me new ways of thinking about what good design is, and what my failures in the past have been. Concepts such as coupling, cohesion, RDD and design patterns should really be obligatory in all introductory OOP courses! My approach to writing programs has drastically changed, thanks to a book I was all to eager to reject at the start of the semester. It has my respect.
