Required for JDK 1.02 but...

If you are doing JDK 1.02 programming, this book is required. I can find anything I need about any class quicker with this book than with any other Java class reference. I need to know specific return values from methods, its there. I need to look at an example of how to use a class or method, it there. This is the easiest (but heaviest) Java reference book I have used.
However...

If you plan on coding exclusively with JDK 1.1 I would wait for the upcoming two volume set (by the same title) from these authors. If they are as good as this volume, they will be worth the money in the time that they save.

This is the OLD book

This is a great book, but you want the second edition, which covers up to class="textlinks">Java 1.1. Its ISBN is different.

The Bible of Java Class libraries.

I have the book by my side at all times when working on my class="textlinks">Java code. It is indispensable. All the classes are list alphabetically which helps in locating what you need. The 2nd edition is out now that covers Java 1.1 classes. A must have!!!

Great Resource

This combined with the subsequent Class Libraries AWT, beans and applet for 1.1 by the same authors are the best Java books I have purchased. Combined with the jdk 1.1 Nutshell book and VisualAge for Java from IBM...you are able to find methods quickly and easily...and then utilize them. Great Job!

Great Reference with Great Examples

The book is a very good reference with excellent example code. I was a beginner when I purchased it and it was invaluable. I look forward to using volume 2 of this book.

he most comprehensive and detailed coverage of the class="textlinks">Java API, including the core packages as well as the Window Toolkit and Applet packages. The book is organized in a template-like manner with classes, methods and interfaces being described in a comprehensive and detailed way.
