I have got basically 3 questions.

1.There are zillions of books for Java beginners some with frills some without, why get lost in crowd?

2.There is a certain paradigm shift in how the industry has adopted Java in recent years, the examples of Teller machines and airline booking no more cater to he developers, developers struggle with more serious issues of how to translate the businees into objects, does it book address those issues to a novice developer.

3.Looking from the TOC published in the website, it does not look if Database realted topics are covered, also the standard package(most commonly used in industry like java.util. java.io. covered have been specifically covered?

What do you mean by this? Shift from what? Are you asking if this book covers software analysis and design, as well as the basics of the Java language itself?

I do believe that one has to crawl before you can walk.
This book teaches you crawling, actually painlessly. :-)
