I bought certification study guide from the same authors and passed the exam easily. This book is a logical step further since the style and approach is the same. Of course it doesn't cover everything and of course it doesn't cover 100% of all mentioned topics, but the book has only about 1000 pages and you have to draw a line somewhere.

Possibly one of the worst computer reference books I have read, and without doubt the worst Java one. If you want reference material, visit Sun's Java web site. If you want more detail, dont buy this book!

I found this a good reference on networking, I/O, RMI, and some threading.... but then again, I had some previous knowledge on each of those topics. Non-the-less, if you would like more information on those topics, I recommend it. Besides those topics, this book doesn't tell you anything useful. Just scratches a surface on Swing...
Remember that if you're a beginner or an advanced JAVA programmer, then this book will be completely useless. Trust me! For the amount of money, there're lots of better books around. In fact, you'll find the Official JAVA tutorial on java.sun.com much much better.... and it's free.

This is not a Java1.2 Developer's handbook
This book absolutely does not contain essential Java classes like Collections. There is a very small and shallow chapter on Swing (or may be an overview?). Read more

The best book on advanced Java I've ever read
This is a truly great book. Not only are the examples useful and the code beautifully polished, but the text is extremely readable. It's got pride of place on my bookshelf.

Hastily updated version of Java 1.1 Developer's Handbook
'Swing' is what comes to one's mind when one thinks of JDK1.2. This book reproduces several examples from the previous version with liberal use of AWT componenets (not Swing... Read more
