5.0 out of 5 stars Genie in a book, 12 Feb 2004
By S. Umamaheswarampillai (High Wycome, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Java Cookbook (One-Off) (Paperback)
I bought this book a long time back while holidaying in Sri Lanka thinking that it might have 'a few useful recipes'. And after a few months when I actually decided to sit down and do some java coding to prepare for the Sun's developer certification exam I realized the true value of this book. This book may not turn you into a "Java almighty". But it takes you as close as you can get to that. Don't get me wrong. If you know nothing about java this book is not going to be a great introduction to the language. But if you know the basics then this can do to you - in programming terms - what that fairy did to Cinderella. Trust me I have seen an awful lot of Java books. I very rarely get so excited about a book on programming. Just buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading, 4 Aug 2004
By Martin Anderson (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Of all the java books on my bookshelf I have two Java books that deal with trying to teach or explain Java by using examples: "Java Examples" and "Java CookBook" both by O'Reilly. The Java Cookbook is so much the better book it's almost embarassing that O'Reilly are responsible for both. This book is an essential part of a Java developers knowledgebase and I would urge anyone learning Java to buy it. The only reason I don't recomend this book to experienced developers is that I'm pretty sure that you already have it!

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as it gets, 26 Mar 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Java Cookbook (One-Off) (Paperback)
Unlike other Java reference books this is much more than a book filled with abstract notions and useless API specs that you can get off the web. Instead, real code samples are organized in meaningful chapters and I've found it an ideal and natural way to get to grips with the methods offered by the various Java classes and where they fit in to the Java landscape.

If you are new to Java but have previous programming experience dont even think twice about buying this book. I find myself rushing for my IDE to try new ideas out whenever I read a new chapter.

I simply love this book with its logical layout and will keep it by my side as long as I program Java.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent examples contained in this book.
This book provided me with a lot of useful information and allowed me to enter areas of programming that lacked documented examples. Worth the money.
