This was the first book on Java that I bought and it provided a reasonable introduction to the language. There were lots of details about Java that it did not cover and I did not find it well organised for reference, so it was not long before I found myself buying other books on Java to make up for these problems. Still, as an introduction it is quite approachable and it certainly communicates the authors' enthusiasm for the topic

This is a learner's book, but it's very outdated (note the $0.01 price in Amazon marketplace). If you want to learn to write applets, look for a newer book.

It says "Hooked on Java", you will be. It's subtitled "Creating Hot Web Sites With Java Applets", with this book in hand, you can. This is one of those books that you keep on the desk while you are building your pages. Even though it is written by Java experts, the basics are never overlooked. A fair amount of sample code and example HTML pages are incorporated in the book, with lots more available on the included CD.

This book fits its short description on the cover perfectly. "Creating Hot Web Sites with Java Applets." It describes the process, and the ideas behind Java, and also the integration of Java into web pages. In short, the book fit its purpose perfectly. I was disapointed in the description of Java programming at the end of the book, and when I had mastered the integration of Java into my web pages, I was still longing for more.
