Unlike other programming books, CodeNotes drills down to the core aspects of a technology, focusing on the key elements needed in order to understand it quickly and implement it immediately. It is a unique resource for developers, filling the gap between comprehensive manuals and pocket references.
CodeNotes for Java: Intermediate and Advanced Language Features will introduce the reader with a grasp of basic Java to advanced object oriented design techniques, collections, I/O, multi-threaded applications, internationalization and more. Experienced Java programmers will also benefit from the numerous examples, tips and tricks and design notes that explain why these Java features are fundamentally important to every development effort.
This edition of CodeNotes includes:
-A global overview of a technology and explanation of what problems it can be used to solve
-Real-world examples
-"How and Why", and "Bugs and Caveats" sections that provide hints, tricks, workarounds, and tips on what should be taken advantage of or avoided
-"Design Notes" illustrating many of the common use patterns for Java programs
-Instructions and classroom-style tutorials throughout from expert trainers and software developers
Visit www.codenotes.com for updates, source code templates, access to message boards, and discussion of specific problems with CodeNotes authors and other developers.
Every CodeNotes title is written and reviewed by a team of commercial software developers and technology experts. See "About the Authors" at the beginning of the book for more information. | | | Product Details: | | | Average Customer Rating:

 Excellent quick guideMar 05, 2002
By W. Lehman
"Lionel Hutz"
If you are looking for a comprehensive guide, this is not it. However if you are looking for quick concise answers on such topics as reflection, interfaces, inner classes, localization, you might be happy to learn that this book won't leave you high and dry. It depicts each topic with just enough theory and examples to get you on your way. The section on localization is very good if you wish to get a quick intro to localization. Reflection is also very nicely highlighted in this book. I wish I had used this book before I used reflection like maniac throughout my projects.
Another cool thing about this book is the price. Under [priced]for a good Java book is something I really like given the fact that I buy books at an astronomical rate.
Enjoy,
Will

 Good quick handbookJan 12, 2003
By Douglas E. Roesch
Similar to "Cliff Notes" for literature, but addresses basic Java language topics. Does a greate job pointing out "gotchas" that don't show up until you get deeper into programming. Thus, by reading this book you get some good coding wisdom early, rather than learning it the hard way at your own desk. The book is also quite terse, and gets to the point quickly. Complaint: Exceptions are fundamental, yet this book barely mentions them. A major omission.
