[Bunkhouse] Review of "Core Java, Volume I--Fundamentals" by Cay S. Horstmann and Gary Cornell
Jeanne reviewed Core Java, Volume I--Fundamentals by by Cay S. Horstmann and Gary Cornell and gave it 9 out of 10 horseshoes.
This edition (the eighth of the book) covers Java 6. I liked that each section was updated to reflect changes to the languages. The authors didn't just tack on some chapters about the new features. They integrated features as they made sense. ... I recommend this book if you are looking to learn Java or have only used certain pieces of it.
