Follow your own path to expertise with this self-guided tour of the Java™ programming language. Written by two members of the JavaSoft team at Sun Microsystems, the book employs a hands-on interactive approach to teaching Java basics, object-oriented concepts, applet programming, and everything else you need to know to become a proficient Java programmer.
Through a task-oriented, example-driven approach, The Java™ Tutorial introduces you to fundamental concepts and applications. Designed so that you can customize your own path through the specific information you need, the book explains the nuts and bolts of the language, applet construction, and the fundamental Java classes. You will also learn about more advanced topics such as creating a graphical user interface (GUI), using multiple threads, and working with Java's networking capabilities.
This Second Edition has been extensively updated to cover API changes in Java 1.1 regarding UI, networking, and I/O, and to include the latest Java language developments. New and updated material includes:
- receiving broadcasts using a multicast socket
- new I/O features, including character streams and object serialization
- the latest developments in applet tags
- using the 1.1 AWT event system
- new language features, such as nested classes
- tips for writing 100% Pure Java programs
- updating 1.0 programs to use the 1.1 API
In addition, the Second Edition has been revised and reorganized to offer a stronger and more cohesive presentation, making this best-selling and award-winning book even better. The Tutorial now starts with a new lesson that introduces you to the Java phenomenon and provides a foundation for understanding the rest of the book.
The accompanying CD-ROM contains the Tutorial and all its code samples, versions of the Java Development Kit™ (JDK) and the JDK documentation for each major platform, and the HotJava™ Browser. On the CD, the HTML version of the book is browser-friendly and contains information not found in the printed text, such as draft lessons on internationalizing Java programs, calling non-Java libraries from Java programs, using the security API, developing JavaBeans™ components, and using the GUI components in the Swing/JFC package.

Format:Paperback
This book overly abused cross-references. The first paragraph may refer you to the third paragraph and the second paragraph may refer you to the first paragragh. Following the references, you will be running around the get lost. If you trim off this absolutely un-necessary WEB of references, the book could lose 10% of its weight.

Format:Paperback
This book does the best job I have ever seen of being both a tutorial and a reference book, and I've seen a lot. The content is excellent, accurate, and thorough; and the organization is not paralleled. It is well-organized; well-indexed; has nice detailed table of contents up front plus more detailed table of contents for each section; tells you what it is going to cover, tells you, and tells you what it covered; is strongly cross-referenced (like its Web version), complete with (accurate!) page numbers; and has a few pages on trouble-shooting and avoiding common problems following each section of four chapters or so. This last feature alone was worth the cost of the book to me in the first 24-hours after I received the book. Campione's and Walrath's "Java Tutorial Second Edition: Object-Oriented Programming for the Internet" is an excellent book. The Web version continues to be updated with new topics not yet covered in the print version (such as lightweight components and Swing). Can you tell that I like this book?
Format:Paperback
The Java Tutorial (transposed from Sun's gargantuan website) is an excellent introduction to the language for those already slightly aware of programming principles. It moves through the concepts at a good pace with excellent examples. All the major areas are covered.
The book is a good investment and will provide an invaluable reference guide as you gain confidence - however additional books will be needed if you are going to be spending any time with Java - it isn't an exhaustive reference. O'Reilly's Java Series fleshes out those areas a programmer might need...
A good buy.

Not a book for beginners
This book is awful. The examples are complex and confuse the issue rather than enlighten. The text does not illustrate the topics but in many cases simply lists them. Read more

This book is terrible. It is the worst CS textbook I have had the misfortune to buy. There are hardly any code examples and it is an extremely difficult read. Read more
