This book is an excellent introduction to Java 7. If you come from a different programming background (C, C++) then this book will be even faster to read. My only complaint is that almost a whole week is dedicated to developing GUIs. These chapters became difficult and almost boring to read, although the final week of the book makes up for it by covering IO, Databases, XML and RSS.

Stay away from the Kindle edition of this book. All the code examples are horribly word-wrapped making it difficult to copy the code correctly. I rotated the screen to landscape and reduced the font to the second smallest size. This reduced but didn't eliminate the wrapping and it made the text much more difficult to read. I figured switching to "Kindle for PC" might help... NO DICE!!! On the Kindle hardware the code reads...

System.out.println(" Status: " + status);
System.out.println(" Speed: " + speed);
System.out.println(" Temperature: " + temperature);

This is correct. On "Kindle for PC", the code reads...

System.out.println(" Status: " status);
System.out.println(" Speed: " speed);
System.out.println(" Temperature: " temperature);

"Kindle for PC" completely dropped at least three "+" signs on that page! An easy error to pick up, BUT STILL!!!!

If you decide to get the book, spend a couple of extra bucks and buy the hard-copy.

**UPDATE**
After reporting the problem to Amazon, they agreed there was a problem and were glad to "exchange" the Kindle version for the physical book... Much more than fair.
