Amazon.com Review
It seems like every Java book these days claims to be the ultimate resource on the language. The second edition of Special Edition Using Java is a 1,100-plus-page tome that may actually live up to that billing. The book covers not just Java fundamentals but a smorgasbord of advanced topics such as the JDK 1.1 API, server-side Java, the JDBC (Java database connectivity) libraries, and security--even the internal structure of Java class files, right down to meanings of individual Java bytecodes (anyone want to write a compiler?). This book serves both as an exhaustive reference and a friendly mid-level introduction to the hottest programming language around.

4.0 out of 5 stars
One massive tome - but the standards keep changing,
By A Customer
This review is from: Special Edition Using Java (Using ... (Que)) (Paperback)
This book is nothing if not large. This was QUEs attempt to capture the entire spectrum of JAVA and make it easy to understand (a task that they accomplished) but then the standards changed again. This is still a great book for learning Java; but, you will have to move on to other resources for news on the updates

Good JDK 1.0.2 reference. JDK 1.1 coverage is limited.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Special Edition Using Java (Using ... (Que)) (Paperback)
"Special Edition Using Java, Second Edition" is an excellent reference to JDK 1.0.2. However, today (April 15), only a month and a half after being billed as "Computer Programming Expert Editor's Recommended Book, 03/01/97", it is a dated reference and the cover claims of JDK 1.1 coverage fall short--they are preliminary and peripheral to primary Java programming topics. For example, there is no coverage of the major changes in the Java event model of JDK 1.1, which permeate almost every application. I recommend waiting for better JDK 1.1 coverage, hopefully in Joseph Weber's new version, "Special Edition Using Java 1.1" which has not yet been released, but for which Amazon is taking orders today

Too many errors,
By A Customer
This review is from: Special Edition Using Java (Paperback)
This book has more errors than should ever be allowed in a professional product. There are typo's in both text and examples. The CD does not contain the source code from the book and I vote this the worst source ever of any computer based information I have found to date. It has left me very unsure of the publishers (QUE) standards and I may never purchase another QUE book again. I simply do not trust them. Spend your hard earned money on a different choice
