Concurrent Programming in Java(TM): Design Principles and Pattern (2nd Edition) (Java Series) 47 reviews
Doug Lea
Prentice Hall PTR, 1999
Will make you a better programmer, but not for beginners.
+ Great Threaded Programming Information for More than Java
This book is great but don't read it as your first introduction to Java threads.
This book is not about Java threads per se, but more about design patterns and good object oriented programming practices as applied to concurrent programming (hence the title). Doug Lea is a university professor ...

Component and J(2)EE development classic

By now a classic, this book eloquently expressed how the Corba component design committees came up with an EJB specification that was not an ideal cornerstone for all J(2)EE applications. Although very fit for selected purposes the early EJB specs had to evolve to EJB 3 to really leverage the power ...

Better, Faster, Lighter Java31 reviews
Bruce Tate, Justin Gehtland
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2004
keep it simple
+ A Book Not Just for the Java World
+ Mixed Feelings
This is a great book. It compares different tools, and shows how to keep things simple and maintainable. Whether it's common sense, like other reviewers wrote, depends on your experiences.
It's easy to get overwhelmed by all the different Java tool acronymns- this is a sane response to all the ...

Jayson Falkner, Kevin W. Jones
Addison-Wesley Professional, 2003
Good book
+ Very good book on servlet and JSP
+ a good book to read
I rate it 5 stars just because Ken Januski underrated it. Do not believe Januski. I can suppose he simply dous not know what he is talking about. This is far not the "worst book", this book is good and it actual rating must be 4 stars. The only one lack is that it is not suitable as your first ...

java(TM).rmi: The Remote Method Invocation Guide10 reviews
Esmond Pitt
Addison-Wesley Professional, 2001
Best book on RMI
+ The most advanced book on java RMI
+ an in depth look at rmi
This is the best book on RMI that I have come across and I personally own 4 RMI books (about 10 if you count books that aren't solely on RMI). Contrary to a previous reviewer, this is NOT a beginners book. Beginners should get a more verbose RMI tutorial-like book. This is an advanced reference ...

Inside the Java Virtual Machine (Java Masters Series)20 reviews
Bill Venners
McGraw-Hill Companies, 1997
A little fluffy.
This book is somewhat less terse and succint than other books I've read. I don't have tons of time to read so appreciate short books that get to the point. This book was a little thicker than it needed to be. I like it but "Programming for the Java Virtual Machine" by Engel and O'Reilly's "Java ...

Java RMI9 reviews
William Grosso
O'Reilly Media, Inc., 2001
Excellent RMI and distributed computing wisdom
+ Really nice book for distributed system developer.
I personally have a very high opinion of the technical level and presentation of this book. The author gives enough substance to all RMI components as well as enough how-to information for a typical TMI deployment. What I apperciated most however is that it's replete with small pieces of wisdom on ...

I completely agree with the 5-star positive reviews listed here. I saw a couple of new ones that were not so positive, so I wanted to voice my opinion.
This book is very well written - well structured, with in depth explanations, humor, good code examples. It can be used both as a tutorial and ...

Hibernate in Action (In Action series)
Christian Bauer, Gavin King
Manning Publications, 2004
Hibernate practically exploded on the Java scene. Why is this open-source tool so popular? Because it automates a tedious task: persisting your Java objects to a relational database. The inevitable mismatch between your object-oriented code and the relational database requires you to write code that maps one to the other. This code is often complex, tedious and costly to develop. Hibernate does ...
