Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
Based on Sun Microsystems' online tutorials, The Java Tutorial Continued: The Rest of the JDK provides an up-to-the-minute guide to essential Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.2 features. This book provides material that is absolutely necessary for Java developers who are seeking to get up to speed with the latest release of Java.

The book begins with a summary of JDK 1.2 features covered throughout the text. It then moves on to the new JDK 1.2 collection classes, which, for the first time, give Java programmers access to robust, customizable data collections.

After a section on internationalization (also newly enhanced), the authors show how to use the Java 2D API for 2-D graphics, from creating basic graphics primitives to displaying images. The authors include some material on building JavaBeans and then discuss Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) database programming, including new JDBC 2 features such as batch updates and SQL3 data types. Sections on Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and Java servlets show off other ways to use Java in the enterprise.

For the real-world Java programmer, there is perhaps nothing more frustrating than coping with Java's security model. Several chapters within this book help you take advantage of the new JDK 1.2 security policy and cover signing Java Archive (JAR) files to permit local file access for both applets and applications. The book closes with some useful material on the Java Native Interface for mixing Java with native C/C++ code. --Richard Dragan

Product Description
The Java(tm) Tutorial Continued provides accurate, up-to-date coverage of features added to the original core Java platform. Written by the experts, The Java Tutorial Continued employs a hands-on, self-paced, example-driven approach. This book concentrates on JDK 1.2 APIs but also contains the information you need to use the JDK 1.1 versions of the APIs.

The tutorial books, including this book and The Java Tutorial, are the definitive programmers' guides to the core JDK. This book covers a road spectrum of JDK features, including:

The Java Collections Framework
Internationalization
2D Graphics and Sound
JavaBeans(tm)
IDL (Interface Definition Language), which adds CORBA capabilities to the Java platform
Database connectivity through the JDBC(tm)
RMI (Remote Method Invocation)
Security
JNI (Java Native Interface)
Reflection
Other topics such as JAR, the Standard Extension Mechanism, and Servlets

The accompanying CD-ROM contains all the material from both The Java Tutorial and The Java Tutorial Continued in HTML, including the source code for all of the examples. The CD-ROM also has much more, including the JDK and everything you need to start programming with JDK 1.2.

You will come away from this tutorial with an excellent conceptual understanding of the JDK, along with the practical know-how to put the Java platform to work for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tutorial for learning Java, January 20, 1999

By A Customer

This is one of the most comprehensive tutorials that you'll find on Java - almost every possible topic is covered, from AWT, GUI & Swing, to networking, rmi, and corba. That said, I'd advise you to check out Sun's site first.... The tutorial series the book is based on is available there for free, and should give you a good idea of whether or not the book is for you. For some, it will certainly be better than a large download and reading it off the screen.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Java Book, February 3, 2000

By	John Peters (Kasson, Minnesota USA) - See all my reviews

I bypassed AWT knowing that SWING was on it's way. This book made it simple for me to create great looking GUI's for my apps. Follows the same style of "The Java Tutorial" Second Edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great additional volume to the Java Tutorial, February 21, 1999

By A Customer

This volume largely contains topics newer to Java. The topics includes Collection, Internationalization, 2D, JavaBeans, IDL, JDBC, RMI, Security, JNI, Reflection, JARs, Extensions, and Servlets.

This new volume follows the tradition of good writing from the original volume.The book is extremely readable and a great source to learn from. Unlike the first volume, which I recommend only to beginner, even experienced Java developers will find tutorials in this volume that will make it worth the purchase price. It is an excellent book for programmers of all levels of experience.
