I knew nothing about Java before this book.

Kurniawan explains everything in an easy to read way. The book is presented in a logical way and the reasoning behind the order of subjects is explained.

This book gave me a comprehensive overview of working with Java.

I still need to actually write some, but I feel confident and knowledgeable that I can.
