Decent one for anybody trying to grasp Java - with an abundantly available time of course.

This book is a very good reference - and nothing more. Beginners should NOT buy it - get Core Java instead. Why? First, the chapter on OOP doesn't try to introduce paradigms of the OOP step-by-step. Instead, it throws a very complicated class hierarchy consisting of some 13-14 classes at the user - even I, official course leader at Sun, had problms with this chapter... I'm absolutely sure NO beginner will understand OOP from this book. The chapter on threads is far from perfect. It's diametrically opposed to the rest of the book, which is, as I've already said, very good. The book can really be recommended for advanced Java programmers, I find it as useful as, for example, Java 1.1 in a Nutshell. Much better than Java 1.1 unleashed 2nd ed., albeit doesn't beat Core Java 1.1 3rd edition. In a word: NOT FOR BEGINNERS!

Big gloss of Java - half an inch deep

When I got this book and read it from beginning to end, I thought I knew something about Java. But since then I've read better books (like Schildt's and Naughton's book) and I see that this book has more holes than a swiss cheese in its presentation of Java. It doesn't talk about how to use abstract classes and interfaces effectively, it doesn't talk about dynamic method dispatching, it covers threads without showing any really useful examples, etc. The examples in the book are not really there to clarify concepts, but just to show some "useful" code. Sure, you can cut-and-paste some of that stuff, but you're gonna have to learn how to make some of that stuff on your own elsewhere. The author's description of API classes and methods are usually about the level of the javadocs except it's less clear. It's like the author went through the javadocs and tried paraphrasing everything, using as few words as possible (& nothing about what these methods are returning, so you need to look up javadocs anyway). So in sum: if you want a good solid intro to Java, look elsewhere (like Naughton & Schildt - now there's a book with some depth). But Jaworski's book has a good side: it does try to cover most everything in jdk 1.1, so you have a cursory understanding of where everything is. It's actually quite good for that. So if you stick with this book you may be a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none in Java; but used in conjunction with a more in-depth book, you can use this book to get a general understanding of all the API's. Oh, and on the CD-ROM: most of it's crap, like that Visual J++ that didn't work on my copy (not Cafe Lite like advertised here). But Textpad is a great text editor, one of the best-valued shareware I've come across in a while. Get the latest copy (it's not as powerful as Emacs, true, but within its limits it's easier to configure, too. If you want Emacs be sure to use JDE which is a special Java configuration for Emacs).

This is a ground up approach to learning and developing in Java 1.1. This book is a necessity for anyone who wishes to develop applications in Java. The examples and organization of the topics allow intermediate to advanced users easy access to information they would require. A major advantage of this book over say one that could teach Java in a few lessons, is the breadth and development of the content. All developers at any level of competency or skill can utilize this book. The content of this book discusses all phases of Java programming, from what Java is and how it works, to small applets, and setting up entire networks or running databases. The CD contains software that will allow the developer to test the majority of the applications developed, as well as containing Java development applications.
