java.appletThe extensive class and member descriptions contain details crucial for developing robust and professional applets and applications. Each description is supplemented by an example that demonstrates the class or member in a relevant context. The 20,000 lines of code in over 350 examples facilitate learning-by-example and provide useful code fragments for your projects. Each class description includes:
- a class hierarchy diagram showing its connection to related classes
- a detailed overview describing its purpose and key concepts
- a convenient member summary that briefly describes each member and arranges the members into related groups
- an example demonstrating the class in a "real-world" context
- comprehensive descriptions and an example for each member

My desert island book series
24 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
If you could design your own Java reference series, what would you include? How about:
- An plain English explanation of each class and method.
- Sample code for every class and method.
- Intelligent organization that enables you to find a given class or method quickly.
- A comprehensive, well-organized index that thinks like you do.
This summarizes the content of this book and the other two in the series and explains why they are the three books I wouldn't dream of programming in Java without. (I've been a professional Java developer since 1996.) Buy the book and make your life easier.

Powerful examples
18 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
Whereas the first volume concentrated on the normal data manip & movement classes required for normal, quick programming, this second volume is more about controlling the user interfaces through applets and multimedia manipulation.
The examples are very useful; some introduce basic game techniques such as "double-buffering" to demonstrate nontrivial applications of the classes. The descriptions at the beginning of each class/interface (and in the intro) are carefully written and informative. Meaty.
(If you're wondering what double-buffering is, it's just the practice of drawing an image in a buffer of memory, then copying the buffer to the screen's memory. Cuts down on flicker, since it's not taking time thinking while putting things directly to screen.)

Other books are nice, but this one is necessary.
4 Oct 1999
Format:Paperback
This book (and the Volume 1 companion) are required for any Java programming. Every class, field and method is covered in detail. Novices will need other material (like the online tutorial) for language syntax, and how to program. But all Java programmers need these books within arms reach.
