Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Peter van der Linden's Just Java 2 is an excellent introduction to the Java platform, especially for those with some existing programming skills. This new edition is based on the JDK (Java Development Kit) 1.4 release, and packs in a comprehensive guide to the language and the core class libraries. The author is a former Sun employee and knows his subject backwards. He also injects some humour and personality into his writing, and includes regular "light relief" sections covering wacky topics such as the Java toaster that burns a weather forecast onto every slice. Readers soon know that he loves Java, likes the Apple Macintosh and hates Microsoft, but fortunately nothing gets in the way of the clear and insightful teaching. In general this is a particularly clear and readable programming guide.

Readers soon know that he loves Java, likes the Apple Macintosh and hates Microsoft, but fortunately nothing gets in the way of the clear and insightful teaching. In general this is a particularly clear and readable programming guide.
The book begins with a brief overview, going on to explain object-oriented programming and the basics of the language. There is a full explanation of packages and how the JVM finds classes, often a tricky area for Java beginners. The author offers detailed coverage of fundamental topics such as threads, input/output, networking and Java Beans, making this a book that will be used for reference as well as for learning. On other topics, such as XML programming, Servlets or database access with JDBC, the book is more introductory. Several chapters cover graphical client applications, event handling and the use of JFC and Swing, laying a firm foundation for building a Java visual interface. There are lots of code examples, both in print and on the accompanying CD.
Overall, this is a solid, professional and authoritative tutorial which has more depth than many lighter-weight alternatives.--Tim Anderson
Product Description
Peter van der Linden's best-selling Just Java has helped thousands of experienced programmers get off to a flying start with Java. Now, it's better than ever. Fully updated for Java 2 JDK 1.3, it's the only concise guide to both the core Java language and the fundamentals of Java server-side programming! Just Java, Fifth Edition organizes Java into five areas: the core language; key libraries such as I/O, networking, and collections; server-side Java; client-side Java; and enterprise Java. Peter van der Linden presents a "straight-to-the-point" introduction to Java object-oriented programming; then covers the crucial information developers need to build working code right away. The second half of the book covers key server-side libraries and programming techniques, including sockets, servlets, JSP, XML, Java database access with JDBC, JavaBeans, and security. The accompanying CD-ROM brings together an extraordinary collection of Java developers' resources: an open-source relational database, the Usenet Java Programmers FAQ and Glossary, a complete servlet system and database inquiry program, sample Java games, links to the Web's best Java resources, and all the book's code examples.
