Hornfischer Bantam, 2006 Possibly, the most complete story ever told. The story of the loss of the heavy cruiser USS Houston off the coast of Indonesia on 1 March 1942 is a story which strikes right to the heart of naval traditions which go back beyond the creation of the United State of America itself. It is a story of danger and brave deeds, of gallant actions and bloody combat. Most of all it is a story of ship that went down fighting against insurmountable odds ...             The Java Class Libraries, Volume 1: java.io, java.lang, java.math, java.net, java.text, java.util (2nd ...51 reviews Patrick Chan, Rosanna Lee, ... Addison-Wesley Professional, 1998 Nothing can describe Java classes better I strongly recommend this book to all Java users of all levels because no other book describes all classes of java.lang, java.io, java.net, java.util, java.text and java.math packages better. Every class, every method and every exception is explained by very understandable language with good and useful examples. There is no Java language problem you cannot solve with this book.             C# for Java Developers (Pro-Developer)22 reviews Allen Jones, Adam Freeman Microsoft Press, 2002 Amazing, Just what I was looking for! This was truely an amazing book, I've read many .NET books, all of which assume zero knowledge of programming, or very little. So when I skipped the first few chapters, or skipped them (Since I've been a Java Developer for several years), I missed valuable differences between Java and .NET. Be sure you do know your stuff in Java, or else this book will seem over your head. This is not a beginners ...             Effective Java Programming Language Guide120 reviews Pearson Education (USA), 2007 Great Guide I am only about half way through this book and already have learned numerous things about the design of Java as a language and about proper usage of said language.

Reading it from front to back like a novel, I was able to immediately apply almost every lesson learned. Brett Spell has a wonderfully readable writing style and does a fantastic job of explaining a wide array of sticky topics that apply to almost every Java programmer. The book's diagrams and example code are also ...             Java 2: A Beginner's Guide39 reviews Herbert Schildt Osborne/McGraw-Hill, 2000 Nice and simple This is very easy to follow and does not assume any previous prgramming experience for real and gives very good explaination chapter wise.             Java Thread Programming (Sams White Book)28 reviews Paul Hyde Sams, 1999 A particularly easy to understand book This is a particularly easy to understand book on Java threads. If you are new to Java or to threading then don't hesitate to buy this book. The topics are clearly explained and in a logical order. The examples are small enough that they are easy to understand, but big enough to get the point across. And they work! Mr. Hyde has clearly gone to a great amount of trouble to make his presentation ...             Java Concurrency in Practice46 reviews Addison Wesley, 2007 Title should be: Java Thread Bible After reading this book you will probably thank God that you haven't been using threads, but with that being said this book contains all the information you need to start writing code that walks the straight and narrow path.             JUnit Recipes: Practical Methods for Programmer Testing20 reviews J.

In addition to this book, I find patterns and bestpractices from "Core J2EE Patterns /Deepak Alur", "Core ...             Groovy in Action18 reviews Dierk Koenig, Andrew Glover, ... Manning Publications, 2007 Great Primer (if a bit dated) on a Great Language While getting a little long in the tooth (GINA was released pre-Groovy 1.0, Groovy is now above 1.5), the material presented in the book is still very relevant and helpful. The biggest issue is that some of the newer (and cooler!) features, such as ExpandoMetaClass, of the language are not covered. That being said, this is still a great introduction to the a language that will likely become an ...             SCBCD Exam Study Kit: Java Business Component Developer Certification for EJB18 reviews Paul Sanghera Manning Publications, 2005 Very Good Book I used this book as a primary preparation tool for the Sun Certified Business Component Developer (SCBCD) exam. Being a beginner in EJB, I found this book to be very friendly. I liked the layout of the book in general and the writing style of the author in particular. Only relevant pieces of code are presented to focus explanation of topic in question.

As an American living in Indonesia who was deeply impacted by the Bali Bomb, I battled between not being able to put the book down and needing to put the book down to process my response. This is an amazingly informative book. Through it, one is engaged ...             Official VisiBroker for Java Handbook13 reviews Michael McCaffery, Bill Scott Sams Publishing, 1999 Excellent Book for Visibroker 3.x This is a very good book if you are using and JDK 1.1.x and Visibroker for java 3.x. If you are using Visibroker 4.0 and jdk 1.2 , you may need to read the Visibroker 4.0 documentation on compatability issues before using this book. There are also some minor typing errors. Overall This is a great book.             Java Programming: From the Beginning19 reviews K.N. King W W Norton & Co Ltd, 2001 Excellent for newcomers to programming I came to this book with almost no programming experience but good analytical abilities.

The exercises and programming projects are thorough. There are always one or two more lengthy projects ...             The Definitive Guide to Stellent Content Server Development11 reviews Brian Huff Apress, 2006 This is a "must have" for all Stellent-ites!
