I looked at the newest version of that on Amazon and it only goes to Java 5. While there aren't huge differences between Java 5 and the current Java 6, there are still some advanced topics that have changed rather dramatically in the latest edition. You may consider Core Java - Advanced Topics by Cay Horstmann.

Java in two semesters is the best book for beginners = FACT.

I prefer
Thinking in Java by Bruce Eckel since it mostly covers Object Oriented Programming concepts

melwin_jose I don't think this is a beginner book. The book I read mentions it as for experienced java programmers. But I think it should also be read after reading beginner books

If anyone else has trouble being able to buy any of the excellent books suggested in this thread (which you should do if you have the 20-40 or so clams it will cost) let me know.

I either have the ebook version or can provide you with the info you need to easily find and download them on your own.
