5.0 out of 5 stars was GREAT at its time, September 14, 1999

This review is from: Java Quick Reference (Paperback)

this book, released in 1996 was definately one of the BEST Java references available at the time. Java in a Nutshell gave some in depth discussions about Java topics, however this book was the perfect reference guide.

although old, it is a classic for JDK 1.0

4.0 out of 5 stars Specifically a quick reference just to the Java API., October 5, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Java Quick Reference (Paperback)

The book's title is somewhat misleading. It's not an extensive reference to Java as a whole. If you're looking for that in a small book, you might want to see David Flanagan's book, Java in a Nutshell instead. However, where Java Quick Reference really shines is in referencing the Java API. In contrast with Flanaga, Afergan tells more about what each method in each class actually does, and the values they return. All extensively indexed. Assuming you're generally familiar with the Java APIs, this is a hand book to keep handy while you're actually programming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelent reference book, January 5, 1998

This book has everything you need, just only a few description about every class of the java API, but enough to use it. besides it is cheap.
