Swiss Army Knife of Java manuals
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I picked up this book on a whim, thinking it wouldn't be as good as Java in a Nutshell or Core Java, both of which are excellent books in and of themselves. Surprisingly, this contains a condensed version of most of the information of the above mentioned books. It lacks the extended examples of Core Java, but to a good student and intelligent reader, missing out on a few examples won't break your education.And like JIAN, there is a good amount of reference material in this book, not with the extended detail of JIAN, but enough to get by most of the stumbling stones one encounters while programming.As a student, I can only carry so many books in my backpack; when I'm programming in the university labs, I want concise and useful as my qualities. At home, I have my Java reference library (CJ, JIAN, etc.), which I consult when I'm at a quandary; for portability and my lab work, this book is the Swiss Army knife of references, one that I carry regularly, and one that can solve about 75-80% of Java problems I encounter.
Makes JAVA plain for beginners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
This is an awesome book for learning JAVA classes and methods. I have O'Reilly Nutshell series (Java Enterprise, Java, Javea examples, JAVA JFC) WROX's JAVA 2 reference and others references but they provided a definitive context. The fundamental and commonly used classes are the first things to learn and "JAVA 2 in Plan English" is the ticket. Don't be fooled by its un-volumonous text and lack of numerous examples. The right information is there in an easy to find format. Numerous cross-references included are invaluable while learning class inheritance relationships. This is defintely a keeper for my library and a reference text while I learn JAVA :)

Good little java book for someone who is new to Java

Good little Java book for people who are new to Java although an understanding of Object Oriented programming is needed. The material is presented in a very concise manner. Nice compact size too. It's a relief from all those other huge programming books.
