If you are looking for a readable, up-to-date overview of the JDK and its libraries, Just Java 2, Fourth Edition is the book for you! You'll find an engaging tutorial complete with clear explanations and challenging examples, and just the right mix of comic relief. Peter van der Linden, the author of the classic Expert C Programming, brings style, personality, and wit to the challenge of simplifying Java and object-oriented programming for any programmer making the transition to the Java environment.

Because Just Java 2 assumes some programming knowledge, you won't get bogged down with the basics. A unique balance of practical advice and expert insights, this comprehensive guide to Java programming covers all the essentials including:

  • Object-Oriented techniques.
  • Types & arrays.
  • Statements & exceptions.
  • Swing components & containers.
  • Networking & client-server.
  • Threads and more.

This revised and expanded edition includes a concise introduction to the new features and libraries, especially inner classes and the graphical "Swing" components and highlights both the advantages and challenges of programming with Java 2.

The accompanying CD-ROM is a truly awesome resource! It contains extensive sample code from top Java programmers, the complete Java Programmer's FAQ, and tons of great freeware, including Linux, Perl, GNU C/C++, Tcl, Python, Java games (with source code, and more)! Due to an unfortunate error in the manufacturing process of the CD-ROM, a number of defective or cracked CDs were shipped with this book. Prentice Hall PTR will be happy to send you a replacement CD-ROM, which can be obtained by emailing disc_exchange@prenhall.com
