Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
A guide to the more advanced features of Java. For advanced programmers, this may be the most sophisticated Java book on the market. This book covers a wide variety of advanced Java topics and techniques that are rarely discussed elsewhere. These include object-oriented analysis and design with Java, metaprogramming techniques, building Java debuggers, Java interprocess and inter-thread communications, 3D modeling, implementing generic data structures, and techniques for accessing third-party libraries. The author identifies inconsistencies and pitfalls in Java, helps identify ways to optimize Java code for faster performance, and provides well-reasoned answers for the questions that advanced Java programmers encounter. The CD-ROM includes C2j, software for automatically translating C++ code to Java; the Ltk toolkit, a lightweight alternative to AWT, and a visual debugger developed especially for this book.

Completely useless !!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Java: Idioms, Pitfalls, Styles and Programming Tips (Prentice Hall PTR Java) (Paperback)
I was hoping for a Java equivalent of Coplien's Advanced C++ book. Instead, I got a couple of pages of basic Java, plus a few hundred of some windowing software that the author developed as a thesis.Don't be fooled by the title. Spend your money elsewhere.

Where's the 'Advanced Programming'? No reasonable suggestions for the pit falls. Just trying to get in on the hype.

Not worth the money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Advanced Java: Idioms, Pitfalls, Styles and Programming Tips (Prentice Hall PTR Java) (Paperback)
The first 60 or so pages of the book are worth reading...once. They are hardly "advanced" concepts, though. The remainder of the book is worthless, I'm sorry to say. I thought too that this would be a book like "Effective C++" by Scott Meyers. Save your money and borrow a friend's copy and read the first 60 pages and give the book back.
