This book doesn't just teach you Java, it teaches you programming. Yes, there is a difference. Learning programming involves using algorithm to solve problems, and much of this book is using Java based algorithms to solve problems.
Regardless of the programming language preference (I prefer C#), you will benefit a great deal by mastering the contents of this book.
The book has been very strategically written. Every programming example not only extends one's understanding of programming, but also delves into important pieces of programmatic algorithm that is worth understanding and mastering (even memorizing).
I highly recommend this book for all levels (even for the experts who need algorithmic refreshers). This is also a very fine reference book as well.
Pros:
1)Written strategically to build one's understanding of programming each step of the way. Every programmatic example is like a work of art.
2)Great exercise problems.
3)I cannot think of better way to learn Java. I only wish there is an equivalent book for C# (but all of the algorithms also applies to C# as well). Fortunately, there isn't a whole lot of syntax difference between C# and Java, and I highly recommend this book for C# programmers.
Cons:
1)Deceptively difficult. Yes, it is an introduction to programming in Java, but you may get lost if you have never programmed before.

Purchase options and add-ons
By emphasizing the application of computer programming not only in success stories in the software industry but also in familiar scenarios in physical and biological science, engineering, and applied mathematics, Introduction to Programming in Java takes an interdisciplinary approach to teaching programming with the Java ™ programming language. Interesting applications in these fields foster a foundation of computer science concepts and programming skills that students can use in later courses while demonstrating that computation is an integral part of the modern world.
Ten years in development, this book thoroughly covers the field and is ideal for traditional introductory programming courses. It can also be used as a supplement or a main text for courses that integrate programming with mathematics, science, or engineering.
