5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have for any Java programmer, June 23, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Hacking Java: The Java Professional's Resource Kit (Paperback)

This is an excellent book. There are many topics covered in a straightforward manner that you won't find anywhere else. Many clever solutions - I learned a lot from using this book and I've been programming in Java for a while. One of the few computer books worth the steep price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for professional Java development., February 2, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Hacking Java: The Java Professional's Resource Kit (Paperback)

This book delves into some of the tough real world issues you will run into when building a java application, not just an applet with cute animation. I especially liked the CORBA ORB demonstration to deliver real multi-tiered client/server applications in java. In addition to this being a fine book by itself, on the CD-ROM enclosed with Hacking Java, you receive the complete text of another good java book Special Edition Using Java, plus 4 other books AND a "publisher's edition" of Microsoft Visual J++ Java development environment. This book is a great value
