With more changes than any previous version, Java 5.0 makes it easier to develop safe, powerful code. But it isn't any easier to learn. That means the bestselling hands-on tutorial Learning Java takes on greater significance, delivering a no-nonsense approach to Java 5.0 features, such as "generics," and looks into the popular Eclipse IDE. The accompanying CD includes the Java 5.0 SDK for Windows, Linux, and Solaris.
Full Description
Learning Java is the most widely sought introduction to the programming language that's changed the way we think about computing. Our updated third edition takes an objective, no-nonsense approach to the new features in Java 5.0, some of which are drastically different from the way things were done in any previous versions. The most essential change is the addition of "generics", a feature that allows developers to write, test, and deploy code once, and then reuse the code again and again for different data types. The beauty of generics is that more problems will be caught during development, and Learning Java will show you exactly how it's done.
Java 5.0 also adds more than 1,000 new classes to the Java library. That means 1,000 new things you can do without having to program it in yourself. That's a huge change. With our book's practical examples, you'll come up to speed quickly on this and other new features such as loops and threads. The new edition also includes an introduction to Eclipse, the open source IDE that is growing in popularity.
Learning Java, 3rd Edition addresses all of the important uses of Java, such as web applications, servlets, and XML that are increasingly driving enterprise applications. The accompanying CD includes the Java 5.0 SDK for Windows, Linux, and Solaris, plus the Eclipse IDE, the NetBeans IDE, and the many example programs from the book.

Media reviews
"Java has become well-entrenched as a mainstream programming language and this title is a significant contribution to the literature."
-- Major Keary, Book News
"As one expects of an O'Reilly book, the editorial people and the authors have combined to produce a text with a high readability index and one in which information is well organized and easy to find...The focus is one how to use Java 5 rather than conceptual issues, which makes it a good ongoing reference."
-- Major Keary, PC Update
"...Java programmers with programming backgrounds will be pleased with its depth."
-- James Cox, The Bookwatch
