  Book Information

You have a choice: you can wade your way through lengthy
Java tutorials and figure things out by trial and error, or
you can pick up Java Cookbook, 2nd Edition and get to the
heart of what you need to know when you need to know it.

With the completely revised and thoroughly updated Java
Cookbook, 2nd Edition, Java developers like you will learn
by example, try out new features, and use sample code to
understand how new additions to the language and platform
work--and how to put them to work for you.

This comprehensive collection of problems, solutions, and
practical examples will satisfy Java developers at all
levels of expertise. Whether you're new to Java programming
and need something to bridge the gap between theory-laden
reference manuals and real-world programs or you're a
seasoned Java programmer looking for a new perspective or a
different problem-solving context, this book will help you
make the most of your Java knowledge.

Packed with hundreds of tried-and-true Java recipes
covering all of the major APIs from the 1.4 version of Java,
this book also offers significant first-look recipes for the
most important features of the new 1.5 version, which is in
beta release. You get practical solutions to everyday
problems, and each is followed by a detailed, ultimately
useful explanation of how and why the technology works.

Java Cookbook, 2nd Edition includes code segments covering
many specialized APIs--like those for working with Struts,
Ant and other new popular Open Source tools. It also
includes expanded Mac OS X Panther coverage and serves as a
great launching point for Java developers who want to get
started in areas outside of their specialization.

In this major revision, you'll find succinct pieces of code
that can be easily incorporated into other programs.
Focusing on what's useful or tricky--or what's useful and
tricky--Java Cookbook, 2nd Edition is the most practical
Java programming book on the market.
