Core Java Book

Hi,
I want to revise all topics in Java, specially which are in the form of question/answers. i.e I don't want to revise as topics given in complete reference or any other book. I want the chapters which have question/answers in them.
Thanks...
R S

why don't you just ask your teacher to give you an A without you doing any work because you're obviously brilliant and can't be bothered doing the work?

Program from Core Java book

I am running Java using the latest download version (1.4.1_02, I think?) from Sun on Windows XP Pro.
On page 25 of the book Core Java, there are instructions for running the Welcome program. The book says to first type "javac Welcome.java." This works fine because after doing this, I have a file Welcome.class. However, the next step is to type "java Welcome." When I do this, I get an error "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassFoundDefError: Welcome." The program Welcome comes with the CD that comes with the book, and I have only viewed it, I have not modified it in any way.
I have downloaded the JDK several times, and I still get this same error, so I do not think the problem is with downloading.

Thanks for the info. In line with this lame-ass Java
crap, when I type in "java classpath .Welcome" after
getting to the correct subdirectory, I get the message
"Exception in thread "main"
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: classpath." Looks
like I'm back to square one again! Nothing like a
total shit book with lame-ass fucking directions.You mis-read or mis-typed. It is
java -classpath . WelcomeThere is a space between each of these
java
-classpath
Welcome

If you are a true beginner then I'd also recommend:

Although you'd probably be better with the more recent edition:

Just java 2 vs core java 2 (better book?)

Just Java by Peter van der Linden
or
Core Java by Cay S. Horstmann
Are there any strong opinions out there as to which one of the Java series books are better? They are both from Sun so I know their good but what do you guys think? I don't trust amazon critics :P

Personally I don't like Manning, but othersswear
by
their publications.I like Manning. I'm reading "AspectJ In Action"now
- very good.
Maybe it's their typesetting I don't like, but I
can't help the feeling that their books seem mostly
amateurish and shallow.No, they've been pretty good to me. Spring, Hibernate, Lucene, etc. - all very good indeed.
At least they've kept focus. O'Reilly has branched out, and I think they've hurt their reputation. Their "developer's notebook" series is pretty lightweight, from what I've seen of it.
Mind I've not read a lot of their latest work, so
maybe that's improved over the last few years.I think the recent stuff is rather good.

The "Core" series java book??

okay folks!
How do you rate the core series java book? are they good or bad? Why the font they use is so large??? I don't like large font books!

well, the font may look smaller, but the book size is too big. I don't have enough shelf space.

What is a good java book

I am new to java. I had a class on it and the book we used in there was cumbersome and unorganized at best. I am wondering what other people have found are good books to help you get better at java. I need something that I can find answers to basic questions and also more advanced ones. If possible I'm looking for one that can also work like a reference book where if I need to know something specific that I can find that pretty quickly too.
Is there such a thing out there? Or am I looking for the impossible? Please help... anyone?

Core Java Fundamentals - ISBN - 0130471771
Core Java Advanced features - ISBN - 0130927384
These assume you know another object orientated language.
The best refrence is the java documentation available at java.sun.com or it can be downloaded.

Data Structures and Algorithms in java book

Hi guys,
I want to know a good book which is good for Data Structures and Algorithms in java. I am good at Core java but a beginner for Data Structures in Java. I am a little poor in Data Structures concepts.
Following are the books I have found on the net. Could you help me the choose the best outta them.
1. Data Structures and Algorithms in Java - Mitchell Waite
2. Data Structures in Java - Sandra Anderson
3. Fundamentals of OOP and Data Structures in Java - Richard Weiner & Lewis J. Pinson
4. Object Oriented Data Structures Using Java - Nell Dale, Daniel T. Joyce, Chip Weems

Whats a good JAVA book?

What do you think is a good Java book for someone who has a little expericne with java? I have experience in COBOL and a little touch of C, and Visual Basic? Any suggestions?
Thanks
Justin

I would suggest Java: an Introduction to Computer Science and Programming by Walter Savitch. This book assumes that the reader has no programming experience and it's aimed at students. I realize that you do have experience with COBOL, but I would recommend this one over the Core Java series to start out. Core Java volumes 1 and 2 are not good as an introduction for someone coming from a non-object oriented language. They would be a lot better for someone migrating from C++. They frequently refer to C++ and VB in their examples. They are excellent books, but better as a reference than an initial learning source.

Java Books

Hi all,
I am a Java back-end,server-side programmer (junior to mid-level). Worked mostly on core Java. I would like to improve my Java programming skills. I know hundreds of books and tutorials are out there, but taught it might be a good idea to ask you guys first and have some idea before starting to buy any...
Does anybody know a good Java book that I can buy or a good tutorial that I can use (in order to improve my Java programming skills)?
Also I like to learn about 'web-services' (and maybe move toward that for my next job). Does anybody know of a good book or turorial for that?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Enum - core java II example

hi
the following code is an example taken from 'core java II'-book.
what i don't understand is where the enum constructor is called
to set the abbreviation field
anyone care to explain ?
thanks
import java.util.*;
public class EnumTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Enter a size: (SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE, EXTRA_LARGE) ");
        String input = in.next().toUpperCase();
        Size size = Enum.valueOf(Size.class, input);
        System.out.println("size=" + size);
        System.out.println("abbreviation=" + size.getAbbreviation());
        if (size == Size.EXTRA_LARGE) {
            System.out.println("Good job--you paid attention to the _.");
enum Size {
    SMALL("S"), MEDIUM("M"), LARGE("L"), EXTRA_LARGE("XL");
    private Size(String abbreviation) {
        this.abbreviation = abbreviation;
    public String getAbbreviation() {
        return abbreviation;
    private String abbreviation;
}

so from what i get here is that
SMALL("S"),MEDIUM("M"),LARGE("L"); are the constructors from where abbreviations are taken.
I want to clear one more doubt.
private Size(String abbreviation) {
        this.abbreviation = abbreviation;1. This is also a constructor right ? If yes then, what was the need that the author made this constructor private ?
2. Why public modifier is not allowed there ?
3. Size s = Enum.valueOf(Size.class,input);Over here what is the role of argument Size.class ?
4. enum size
Size s = Enum.valueOf(Size.class,input);In the first code enum's e is small but in the second code Enum's E is capital. How so ?

Java book recommendations

I do realize that there are other similar topics in circulation, but I haven't found a satisfying answer.
I am currenty reading: Java How to program - Fourth edition, Deitel and Deitel
I am looking for a somewhat more advanced book to read when I have finished this one. My goal is to create an online text-based game. One problem is that I don't know how my program is supposed to communicate with the homepage, but maybe there will be answers for that in the book I am currently reading later on..
Grateful for any suggestions!

Suggestion on Java Book

Hi! I studied Java about 2-3 yrs ago and I just need to refresh my memory about the language so does anyone have suggestions about which book to buy? I just need a Java book that would refresh my memory and if possible, update me on the latest information and news about java. Thank you very much!

i think he means that a lot of people have asked the same question before, and you should do a search on the forums for an answer.
But really, if you're looking for a good book you can't go past Core Java 2 (Vol 1 & 2), by Horstmann and Cornell, from the Sun Microsystems Press. Vol 1 covers all the fundamentals and is a great reference. Vol 2 goes into more detail on advanced topics: multithreading, networking, advanced swing and awt etc, both come with a CD that has heaps of code samples.
They are a bit expensive (over $Aus 100 each) but more than worth it.
