Java Security Review, June 06 2000





Well, this book is quite detailed but confusing. I don't like the structure. And I don't think this book is your first book to learn about Java 2 security features.
However, I do recommend this book. It makes you to think and analyze! Read this book after you read a chapter or two in other books or or stuff in JavaSoft's homepage!

This book is little more than an API guide, and it isn't a very good one at that.
It should have provided a broad view of Java security issues both for the programmer and the end user. Instead, it's only useful to people who can't read documentation.
I just got my copy of "Securing Java" from Amazon.com, and it seems like it's what this O'Reilly book should have been. Go get that instead!!!!
