Clear and Concise! Excellent book for beginners in Java.

If you find Doug Lea's "Concurrent Programming in Java" too daunting, this is the book you should have read first. The examples were easy to follow, and were to the point -that is, you will only learn how to work with the Thread API, and there is not much talk about design patterns. The diagrams in the book were very handy to follow Hyde's explanation. I enjoyed reading this book.. I recommend this book for every beginner in java programming.
