Java 1.2 unleashed

It's fun to read all the other reviews ;) I agree that this book is not for beginners who want to learn object orientation. But the fact is that many books are all the same. They start with a nice little example that everyone knows: class Hello{ public static void main(String[] args){ System.out.println("Hello world"); }} I think Jamie does a superb job. And for you beginners: This is a book with alot of code examples, such as the Black Jack Game! And I can tell you the code is well structured and follows an appropriate code standard. There are many nice exaples, like the complete HTTP Web Server, etc.So if you know something about programming, and if you want to explore some interesting things in Java, this book IS very nice.There are comments enough in this book for you people who at least have a clue about programming! Writing complete Javadoc for a book?? Who would do that, the book would end up with too many pages... This book is heavy enough and I really recommend it for interesting readers.

An excellent book, but in the wrong order

I found this book to be an excellent book, despite others reviews. Definitely not for beginners, but a good read for anyone with some programming experience. What others have interpreted as lack of support for those with less experience in the language, I have noticed tends to be simply badly ordered chapters - There are some more advanced discussions at the beginning, and some introductory chapters later on...

Very good overall book

It touches every aspect of Java programming, without getting deep in any of them. If you are have some programming experience, and want to learn about the capabilities of Java, this is the book for you. I especially like the numerous simple programs that illustrate the content.

Good Overall Book

This book is great if you only have one book on the shelf regarding JDK 1.2. It covers all areas but not to the great depth in any given area that you would find in the Sunsoft or O'Reilly books that are geared for specific areas. Java 1.2 Unleashed does talk about 1.2 concepts like InfoBus and the new Collections.

This is a nice book for developers

A person really loking for a nice book on java should read this book. It's a nice stuff for both starter as well as a developer working on java for quite long time.
