5.0 out of 5 stars Its Complete, Really., September 20, 2002

Art Critique "Art Critique" (Cary, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Java: The Complete Reference (Complete Reference Series) (Paperback)

A complete book to get introduction to in-depth information about Java. When I had to quickly deliver a prototype in Java (I was a C/C++ programmer then), this book came to my help and ever since, it became a bible for me.

The language is simple, the style is good and the approach is fantastic. Since the authors come from both the backgrounds, the treatment is very different.

I would strongly recommend to anyone who wants dive into Java. (I should say special thanks to my colleague who suggested this book)

This review is from: Java: The Complete Reference (Complete Reference Series) (Paperback)

I've got more than a dozen JAVA tutorial and reference books from a wide variety of authors, but when I'm really stuck ... this is the one I reach for. As a matter of fact, all the best programming reference books on my shelf are Schildt's.
