Version 5.0 of the Java 2 Standard Edition SDK is the most important upgrade
|
||
|
since Java first appeared a decade ago. With Java 5.0, you'll not only find
|
||
|
substantial changes in the platform, but to the language itself-something that
|
||
|
developers of Java took five years to complete. The main goal of Java 5.0 is
|
||
|
to make it easier for you to develop safe, powerful code, but none of these
|
||
|
improvements makes Java any easier to learn, even if you've programmed with
|
||
|
Java for years. And that means our bestselling hands-on tutorial takes on even
|
||
|
greater significance."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.</p>

<p>I once said that it's not just the matter of wanting to learn something, there
|
||
|
is also the matter of wanting to <em>teach</em>.</p>
|
||
|
<p>The problem here is that the book doesn't seem interested in the second.</p>
|
||
|
<p>I mean, sure, it's nice that you go through <em>all</em> the classes, but... is it
|
||
|
necessary? Is this teaching? Not to me.</p>
|
||
|
<p>Either focus on how things work and how to pick things, but going over and
|
||
|
over and over over <em>everything</em> is tiring and not helpful. Not to mention
|
||
|
there is a lot of things said twice (or even more), which seems focused on
|
||
|
making the book bigger, instead of making things clearer.</p>
