This book has covered almost all the concepts in JAVA. So if you wanna learn JAVA by yourself without going to any paid course then this is gonna be your best friend. This would teach you almost all the concept that you need to learn. I would say that don't depend only on this book instead watch some free youtube channels which teaches you JAVA in detail. You can use this as a reference text boom while you learn the course on YouTube as well... Overall it's an amazing book for all the JAVA learners. Go for it.

Aunque empieza con lo básico, es muy completo y detallado. Bien explicado y con bastantes ejemplos. Abarca muchos temas más allá de las instrucciones de programación java (Spring, Java FX, etc.).
Estaría mejor traducido, pero es lo que hay.

Brought this book to help me understand and program in Java. As a beginner I required some help to start programming in Java so I started to watch tutorials on you tube. However, I brought this book as I feel its just easier to open up a page in the book to read particular parts in detail over and over rather than re watching a video on you tube which with having slow internet speeds is a pain. This book is good at explaining topic's, keywords, etc, using a number of diagrams which help a lot! I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to start programming in Java.
