If you are new to Java this book will give you a good look at some of things that Java can do. It paints Java with a broad brush; covering Applets, Applications, Swing, Servlets, JSP and XML In other words, it tells you alot about Java, including the language itself. Unfortunately, it doesn't give you many of the details.
It's great if you just want to learn something about the language and get a general feel for it's scope. But teach you Java?? Maybe, if you've got some prior programming experience and you're not interested in the nitty gritty. On it's own, it won't give you enough information to pass the SCJP but it could be a useful tool to help you decide whether or not you're really interested in the language enough to seek certification.
It wouldn't be the first book I'd recommend if you were serious about learning the language; but if you're just curious, then it's worth a look.
