Tricks of the Java Programming Gurus

Rating:
Summary: An excellent book for the Java expert
Review: It is unique in that it is aimedat people who already know Java, but want advanced material on numerous different topics (by comparsion, "Advanced Java" is prettyfocused. It does meet this aim. It won't be a book you'll read from cover to cover. Most likely, you'll initially read one or two chapters. Then you'll put it on your shelf until you need to read about one of the other topics in this book. Some examples of the topics covered are Modifying the Security Manager, Native Methods, and Factory Objects. I haven't seen another book covering any of these topics.
