Title: Indispensable
Review: I have had a copy of this book for six months. I bought it to replce my copy of the first edition when I switched to JDK1.1. My 2nd edition is literally falling apart through use. If you can only afford one Java book, buy this one. The book won't tell you how to use all the classes provided with Java 1.1 (although there is a useful section covering programming with Java 1.1 it does not cover every class). What the book does provide is a handy quick reference for the JDK tools and to every class. For examples of how to use this stuff, buy the companion Java Examples in a Nutshell. If you can only afford two Java books, buy the Examples book as your second.
