4.0 out of 5 stars Concise, and to the point., 20 Sep 2002

By	Mr. C. J. Lee "cjlee23" (London, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Wondered what all the fuss of the new JDK 1.4 was all about? Well, this book is written for the likes of you. It has certainly helped me to get a quick grasp of the new features of JDK 1.4. The book is outlined with examples of how you could use these new concepts. As soon as I got this book, I straight away dived into using one of the features mentioned.

I think that all Java developers should read this book once at least. It may not have everything about the JDK 1.4, but it certainly gives you enough to start using the new features straight away.

Buy this book today, and start enjoying your passion in Java programming.
