Review title: Good book
Product review: Pros:*)Covers a lot of java topics, from language syntax, API (JFC) to performance issues.*)Concrete, real examples.*)OO design issues, as MVC patterns, lazy evaluation, etc.*)Some issues are java related, which have different behaviors in C++, as "Passing Primitive by Reference", "Boolean Logic and Short-Circuit Operators", well done.Cons:*)Explanation can be deeper, and clearer.*)No contributions to enterprise java: javabean, JDBC, RMI, Servlet, JSP, EJB.*)Some explanations are not accurate: for example: Abstract methods must be overridden should be replaced by "Abstract methods must be overridden in CONCRETE classes".*)No references at the end of the book, <Effective C++>>, <<Design Patterns>> can be listed.Suggestion:Buy this book with <<Practical Java Programming Language Guide: The Addison-Wesley Professional Computing Series>> (ISBN: 0201616467) and/or <<The Elements of Java Style>> (ISBN: 0521777682).
