Product Description
This book is a compressed practical manual on the Java programming language, and consists of 21 lessons.

The main features of the Java language are covered in the first half of the book and such advanced topics as working with databases, Java Servlets, JSP, EJB, and JMS are explained in the second half. Most of the lessons from this book come with working applications and setup instructions. The first 10 lessons come with independent applications and the second half of the book leads you through development of a Stock Trading System, the final version of which is designed using Java servlets, JSP, EJB, and JMS.

The book also contains technical questions and answers for Java technical job interviews.

About the Author
Yakov Fain is an expert in programming with 20+ years of experience in the software industry. He is a seasoned instructor and mentor. He works as a senior consultant/architect/developer for major financial companies in the New York City area.

5.0 out of 5 stars The cover is a little silly but the contents are great!, July 17, 2004

By	Aygee Khay (Maryland, USA) - See all my reviews

If you have a few other "beginning" Java books on your shelf and they've not worked for you, buy this one. It is readable and it makes no assumptions that you know Java vernacular. If you have some innate programming skills but have never gotten Java onto your toolbelt, this is the book for you.

I've learned Java with this book by reading one chapter a day at my local Starbucks. I had to buy another copy of the book because my boss kept my first copy :)
