Summary: A Great Java Book
Review: I bypassed AWT knowing that SWING was on it's way. This book made it simple for me to create great looking GUI's for my apps. Follows the same style of "The Java Tutorial" Second Edition.

Summary: Great tutorial for learning Java
Review: This is one of the most comprehensive tutorials that you'll find on Java - almost every possible topic is covered, from AWT, GUI & Swing, to networking, rmi, and corba. That said, I'd advise you to check out Sun's site first.... The tutorial series the book is based on is available there for free, and should give you a good idea of whether or not the book is for you. For some, it will certainly be better than a large download and reading it off the screen.

Summary: Great additional volume to the Java Tutorial
Review: This volume largely contains topics newer to Java. The topics includes Collection, Internationalization, 2D, JavaBeans, IDL, JDBC, RMI, Security, JNI, Reflection, JARs, Extensions, and Servlets.

This new volume follows the tradition of good writing from the original volume.The book is extremely readable and a great source to learn from. Unlike the first volume, which I recommend only to beginner, even experienced Java developers will find tutorials in this volume that will make it worth the purchase price. It is an excellent book for programmers of all levels of experience.
