this auther deserves the book and what he got but i learned was that diograms from this book tell it self. For an example this planning and creating he does.

This slim pocket guide from O'Reilly does a decccent, quick overview of Java, covering up through Java 6. By no means a complete reference or tutorial, this is a quick lookup guide meant more as a reminder than as as a learning book. A decent quick reference, but nothing in depth, which is exactly what it claims to be.
Considering that I have had to work doing Java programming and have taught it and had to do most of my university in Java, this book has been invaluable. I have gone through it over and over again, almost obsessively, looking for new delights in Java.
It's a Java dictionary. There's really not anything more to it. It's good for what it is but it's not a study book.
Unfortunately, this is the first disappointing O'Reilly animal cover book I have read. It tried to do too many thing and satisfy too many audiences in too few pages. It came up short for all of them.
