Java Tutorial, The: Object-Oriented Programming for the Internet
Customer Reviews
Rated 5 starsThis edition covers JDK 1.0 only
This first edtion of the Java Tutorial in print covers the JDK 1.0, meaning the older event model and AWT components. I saw some editorial reviews up above that seem to gloss over this fact. Be aware that this excellent book is now outdated, and you ought to get the 2nd edition if you are new to Java programming. I just recently (June 2000) saw a print ad for a 3rd edition as well.

Rated 5 starsVery few good Editors such as Campione & Walrath
As a student in college, I had a very good English professor. He taught us the ins-and-outs of technical report writing. Apparently, Campione and Walrath went to the same school as he did. They teach the ins-and-outs of Java, and they do so in a very clear, complete, and consice manner. If you intend on writting Java pgms. take my advise, buy the book!

Perhaps that's why there are so many references to other parts in the book. Inheritance references other things all the time. Keep working...

From the first-time Java newbie to the week-end programmer to even experienced programmers, "The Java Tutorial" introduces Java, and then proceeds from there to...
