Overview

This is the Safari online edition of the printed book.

The revised edition of the classic Core Java™, Volume II–Advanced Features, covers advanced user-interface programming and the enterprise features of the Java SE 6 platform. Like Volume I (which covers the core language and library features), this volume has been updated for Java SE 6 and new coverage is highlighted throughout. All sample programs have been carefully crafted to illustrate the latest programming techniques, displaying best-practices solutions to the types of real-world problems professional developers encounter.

Volume II includes new sections on the StAX API, JDBC 4, compiler API, scripting framework, splash screen and tray APIs, and many other Java SE 6 enhancements. In this book, the authors focus on the more advanced features of the Java language, including complete coverage of 

  • Streams and Files

  • Networking

  • Database programming

  • XML

  • JNDI and LDAP

  • Internationalization

  • Advanced GUI components

  • Java 2D and advanced AWT

  • JavaBeans

  • Security

  • RMI and Web services

  • Collections

  • Annotations

  • Native methods

For thorough coverage of Java fundamentals–including interfaces and inner classes, GUI programming with Swing, exception handling, generics, collections, and concurrency–look for the eighth edition of Core Java™, Volume I–Fundamentals (ISBN: 978-0-13-235476-9).

Book - never received, 2009-02-18
Reviewer rating:
Amazon shipped it to a wrong address and I never receive it even after twice posted my issue
At least, get this one, 2009-02-01
Reviewer rating:
If you should have a reference book about Java among the many, get this one (It is part of a 2 volumes set).
It might not be complete on each concept, but it is a very good start for all of them. It gives serious comprehensive overviews and examples.

The drawback about the examples is that they are not sent on a CD or DVD along with the books. So you have to create an account and log on Safari online to get the book... page by page!!! It's a pity :-(
Kindle edition not a good buy, 2008-06-24
Reviewer rating:
Like many reviewers I find the the Core Java series to be very valuable. However, be forewarned that the kindle edition is not a good representation of the book. The figures are completely useless either because they have not taken the time to convert them properly or because the kindle technology is simply incapable of displaying non-text content properly. I wish I had known this before I paid for the kindle edition of this book.
Best Java book out there, 2008-05-27
Reviewer rating:
The Core Java (vol 1 and 2) are simply superb books. If you are a developer looking for thorough books on this subject, look no further.
