Format: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.

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!

I find this a good "cook book" -the sort you need in a rush, to remind you the details. Although some items were rather too-commonly used to include in a reference (eg: "Q:You need to sleep for a while; A: use Thread.sleep()"), in general the tips were very useful.
I would recommend this for the novices and the experienced alike, to help free your mind with the details of Java coding intricacies, and let you worry about more important design /testing aspects. Personally I found this very useful in graphics and internationalization, the things that I do not use everyday work.

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. Read more

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.
