Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Product Description

...a handy book for developers who know the basics but are fairly new to real world Java development...(also) useful to intermediate-advanced users who want to...learn about the new things offered by J2SE 5.0.

— Harshad Oak, IndicThreads.com

Pro Java Programming, Second Edition covers the latest J2SE 5.0 platform and the core JDK. And it takes advantage of the finer points of the core and standard edition of Java 2. You'll discover the particulars of working with the Java language and APIs to develop applications in many different contexts.

You will also delve into more advanced topics like enums, generics, XML, metadata or the Swing APIs for graphical user interface design and development. By the end of the book, you'll be fully prepared to take advantage of Java's ease of development, and able to create powerful, sophisticated Java applications.

Good book - Reviewed on 2006-03-22

I really liked this book. The explanations are very clear and thorough. I agree with the previous review, that the book is a little SWING and code heavy. The SWING stuff is however just used as examples to explain a concept. The author is not trying to teach you SWING through this book. I guess that also the reason for longer code samples. Swing adds a few extra lines of code to each sample, but without that .. it might be difficult to follow through.

Overall .. this is a good intermediate/advanced level book.
Grab bag, but mostly Swing - Reviewed on 2005-07-21

7 customers found this review helpful, 3 did not.

This book covers a grab bag of reasonably advanced Java topics. These include collections, XML, some database access, and Swing. Roughly half of the book is Swing. The first chapter, which covers library design, is solid.

The exposition is solid, if a little dry. The illustrations are good. The book does rely a little heavily on code to do most of the expository work.

I recommend having a look at this book in person before buying it. See if there is enough there on the topics that interest you to make it worth the purchase.
