 Excellent resource for Java Intermediate to Expert developers
I really love this book, it has been useful for me at work.
br /It helps you covering the gaps on Java basics and gives you good real world advises.
br /The Multithreading chapter walks you thru from a simple threaded application to a thread pool app. Does go in deep on Threadpooling but gives you enough to get started with it.
br /The Distributed Objects nicely covers the steps to develop and deploy an RMI app, taking in consideration the small nuts and bolts in configuration and set-up like RMI registry and how to pass parameters and also introduce you to how JNDI works. Which is quite useful to a serious Java programmer.
br /I found an small problem when starting the server app, but was able to fixed after reviewing the SUN's tutorial on RMI to complement this book info. (thus the 4 stars)
br /I almost skip the Database Programming chapter, since I have experience with DBs and JDBC but I would have missed the LDAP coverage which was very good, glad I reviewed. I liked the example suggested using open software which makes thing easier to test.
br /Have not look into Swing and AWT chapters since I am mostly involved with back end development.
br /Finally I am reviewing the Security chapter which has revealed some intrinsects of how classes are loader and how to customize the process and it has proven been helpful in the deployment process of small apps.

Core Java 2, Volume II - 7th Edition
Having purchased the first editions of Cay Horstmann's two volume Core Java set, I knew that I needed this book when I upgraded to Java 5.0 and began trying to take advantage of its new features. Previously I had been using Java 1.2 and so had quite a learning curve. The book was very helpful. I canvassed nearby bookstores and the library and found nothing as good. Most of the examples I tried worked right out of the book. When they did not it was because my application(s) differed from the author's. That in itself was good. The examples, and text, taught me enough that I could easily fill in the blanks.
br /I have one piece of advise for anyone buying the 7th Edition set. If you have earlier editions, keep them. There is explanation in the 1st edition that is omitted from the 7th edition.
good java book
if you have some basic java skill, you should get this book, it's very good for improve your level of programming skill.
The best book on Java I was able to find
I am a mature (i.e. old) professional who uses computers for custom problem solving, i.e. I am not a professional programmer, but pretty darn close.
br /
br /There is a lot of books out there on Java programming, but the vast majority of them suffer from two deadly sins of technical writing:
br /
br /- either they regurgitate other, usually free, information (like help files or manuals that come with the software) in the hope you wouldn't notice and buy it anyway
br /
br /- or they assume you are a sheer idiot who needs to be fed trivia along with simplistic info, lest you become bored or worse, won't get it and drop the book.
br /
br /Well, I do get it and I appreciate anyone who does not waste my time by underestimating my mental capabilities. This book proved to be the one and only material I can read without cursing - professionally written, covering all the right topics without being too cute or condescending, providing answers to most questions an intelligent, computer-literate professional might have while attempting to learn Java all the way up to advanced professional apps. My main need was to learn the ways to implement trees with editable fields, and this book took me right up to it. I had to search the web for some extra coding examples, but all peculiarities of the live code I had encountered were to be found in one of the Core Java (either vol I or this one).

br /You want to learn something useful, get these books.
