This review covers both Core Java Volume I--Fundamentals (9th Edition) and Core Java, Volume II--Advanced Features (9th Edition). Both books are part of the Prentice Hall Core Series.I actually got Volume II first and liked it so much I ordered Volume I. I felt like I was missing the first half of the story. Especially when I downloaded the code and both volumes were included. These two books take you on quite a journey. The first volume starts off with a great overview and history of Java. It then goes into how to download, install, and configure both the JDK and Eclipse. The authors uses Eclipse throughout both volumes. The rest of Volume I is dedicate to covering the fundamental concepts of the Java language and the basics of user-interface programming. I have listed the chapters in Volume I below. Volume I Chapter 1. An Introduction to Java Chapter 2. The Java Programming Environment Chapter 3. Fundamental Programming... Read more

Easy reading, even my mother language is not English. It's worth it totally. The author is not only telling what Java can do, but also what it cannot do. As we know, Java has its defects. The author doesn't avoid them.

A cohesive reference in an era of scattered online tutorials,
This review is from: Core Java, Volume II--Advanced Features (9th Edition) (Core Series) (Paperback)
Java is a huge language these days. Check that, the language is actually very straightforward - and covered well in the first volume (Core Java Volume I--Fundamentals (9th Edition) (Core Series)) of this series. But the Java PLATFORM is huge. The second volume brings the updated Core Java series to almost 2,000 pages. But in these days of exhaustive online references, what purpose does a printed (and therefore "instantly obsolete") text like this serve?Well, while online documentation can list classes and members all day long, these texts actually go to the effort to give context to the classes, how they interact with each other, and how to use this huge Java platform successfully. Also, compared to reading stackoverflow all day long and trying to piece together an understanding of a topic, these books actually give a clear... Read more |
