5.0 out of 5 stars
Old but good,
By A Customer
This review is from: Professional Java Fundamentals (Paperback)
Even though this is one of my oldest Java books I keep going back to it. I wish it would be updated for the new Event model and swing however. The coverage of the 1.0 JDK is very good and I still go back to the gridbag description and examples when I get confused.

Excellent reference, no-nonsense summary,

This review is from: Professional Java Fundamentals (Paperback)
Fantastic book. Pithy style, very readable, no fluff, excellent as a reference. Anyone coming to Java from C++ should get this book. About the only thing I would do to improve it would be to have at least a short chapter on database access.

BEST BOOK TO START WITH...,
By chris.thumann@voiceint.com (Northern New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Professional Java Fundamentals (Paperback)
This is one of the first books I bought to get an understanding of Java and how it is comprable to what I already know of C/C++. This book is the perfect starting point, giving every comprable declaration to C/C++. Kudos to the authors, can't wait for a more up-to-date version though.
