This is one of the few Java books that goes beyond being documentation of the API's to actually showing how you would make some applications. His tools coincide with tools we have made for a real application. This is a Java 1.1 book, but the frameworks and utilities Jerry introduces are very useful.

Good Bits but does not Hang Together Ablan is obviously a good 'techie' but has problems in communicating his ideas. I do not blame him but the sloppy Editing - Sams should hire a new Editor. Not for those starting off with Java & Inet projects. Typos, the CD has wrong chapters & after a few days gave up in trying to get the JIF examples working. There is no documentation / instructions on how to get it up & running (not in the book/CD). What a waste, as looked quite interesting.

No discussion on Servlets vers Applets et al, or the limitations of doing it his way. Advice to Jerry Ablan: get a new editor, cover Servelets & reissue the book Note to SAMS (you seem to be more interested in $$$$bucks~$$$ for profits, too much sloppy & poor editing,compare that with O'Reilly; if I see book released by you versus O'Reilly - GUESS which pedigree I'll buy !!)

Could provide fully developed ready to use applications complete with pass word, http inclusion and references to primer books on data base and jdbc as prepatory to Intranet Applicatons with Java.

I mean like, this book changed everything. Jerry Ablan is the KING of JAVA. He must have had a lot of it to put together a winner like this! Kudos!
