Java books/reading over Christmas?

The last post got me thinking... Is there any Java book you'd like to get your hands on? (Santa, are you using Echelon to snoop? Filthy Rich Clients, please) Or will you be using the time to (re)read a book that's been sitting on the shelf? Or would you like to nominate the best new Java book of 2007? What are people reading?

I'll be reading my first Java book, which is "Java in a Nutshell" by o'Reilly. Really? That's pretty much like printing out the javadocs for the entire JDK and reading those.
I used to have a copy of it when I first started with Java, but now I find that the on-line stuff is more convenient and up to date.
I like it so far. I'm coming from C/C++ so I haven't had any difficulties understanding any of the syntax used. I hope to finish this 1224 page monster by Christmas or the first week after.I would not consider that to be a good tutorial or first book to read. Who suggested that?
Bruce Eckel's "Thinking In Java" is a much better choice. It's free and available on-line. Google for it. (He also has a "Thinking in C++", which you might like.)

Creating a a java Program which Displays a POP UP in a JSF Web Page!

Hi Folks,
I wrote a java program which checks the user credentials against the Active Directory, and if it exists displays a URL (of Web Application) with useri nfo filled automatically in the page deployed on Tomcat ver 6.x.
Now My Problem is just that I have a Pop up in the User Login page which has 3 buttons and according to that the Logic ,Navigation flows. Earlier i was just filling the info directly from Active Directory and Landed into the User Info Page. But now the functionality has changed so I have to modify it. I am not able to find how to Display the Pop up. in that page.
If anybody can help me with that I would be really greatful.
Thanks in Advance ,
Somil

Thank you for the quick response George. I guess a better way communicate what I need to accomplish is "how"
I went to the toolbar on the right, then "javascript", then "Document Java Scripts". That opened a window that had me name the script, then add it, then put in the scripting (see below). I do not know how to "place it in a document-level JavaScript (outside of a function definition) or in the initial page's Page Open event."
This is the script I am attempting to use.
var message = "When you have completed filling out the Tax Organizer, click on the purple "SUBMIT" button at the top of the page. This will automaticall submit your Tax Organizer for you. Be sure to print a copy for your files"
app.alert(msg,3);
If you could provide some step by steps that would be super.
I am wanting this pop-up box to open and the client will have to then click on the "ok" button to make it dissapear so that they can then fill out the PDF.
The "Submit" button is auto created for me when I choose to distribute the form, I am unaware of any way to move it.
I feel that my issue is a elementary one, I am currently working through the Adobe Classroom in a Book lessons as all my acrobat skills have been self taught.

Search advice for good ABAP-connect-Java Book

Hi,
I want to navigate a Java-application in SAP.
The Java-application is a routing-software.
The SAP-user (the planner/coodinator) should choose a
customer and a worker/sales-person in an ABAP-application.
So this the SAP-user plans, which sales person drives to
which customer.
The ABAP-application should give this information to the java-application
which then plans the route! The user should not remark anything from
the communication between abap- and java-application.
Has anybody an idea with which technique I can realise the problem?
Can anybody advice me a good manual or book concerning this topic?

Hi,
These are the recommended books for OO programming in ABAP.
1.ABAP Objects: The Official Reference
by Horst Keller, Joachim Jacobitz
This is systematic language reference book for ABAP Objects.
2. ABAP Objects: Introduction to Programming SAP(R) Applications
by Horst Keller, Sascha Kruger
3.Java and BAPI Technology for SAP" by by Ken Kroes, Anil Thakur, Gareth M. deBruyn, Robert Lyfareff

Java Book Recommendation?

Hi,
I work a lot with scientific computation: reading in data, working with mathematical models, etc.
However, I can't find a Java book that tackles those aspects in depth.
Does anyone know of a good book on this topic?
Regards,
-mike

I am sorry you feel that way about my questions! For example, in scientific computing, we work a lot with differential equations, Fourier transforms and so on. I can of course, write a program that will do those computations from scratch - which would take a lot of time! Or, what if there was a Java package that do these calculations? By having a book which focuses on these issues, one can save a lot of time! So, I believe you may have misunderstood my questions.
That's a different question.
Of course there exist libraries to aid in scientific and engineering computing.
Can't give you names as I'm not (sadly) into that field any more, but I do know they exist.
There are a few books that deal with Java and Scientific Computing that I found. These books prove that the questions that I posed here are relevant, and not a way of "give me the source" that you mentioned. Most people who replied to my questions were very polite as I have been - politeness is definitely an attitude that is much appreciated here!
Most such questions are from schoolkids who don't want to put in their own effort but just want to copy and paste sourcecode and turn it in as their own for their homework assignments.
That's how yours was understood to be as well.
Here is a list of the books I found:
- A Numerical Library in Java for Scientists and Engineers by Hang T. Lau
- Java for Scientists and Engineers (2nd Edition) by Stephen J. Chapman
- Essential Java for Scientists and Engineers by Brian Hahn
- Java Programming for Engineers by Julio Sanchez and Maria P. Canton
- Java Gently for Engineers and Scientists by Judith Bishop and Nigel Bishop
- Java for Engineers and Scientists by Gary J. Bronson
This is definitely a great list for people who want to apply Java in Science and Engineering.
May look at some, especially the first :)

Any good Java books with Business Examples ?

Can anyone recommend a Beginner Java book that has some good Business Examples ?
(Don't recommend the SUN tutorial, as their examples are more for the rocket scientist).

Not sure what you mean by business examples, but here goes.
Check out Wrox for some excellent books - not all excellent.
Check ot samspublishing for the same.
I have a superb book called Learning java (O'Reilly) that I would recommend to anyone. It lacks complete examples, which I usually rely on, but is a major piece of work for the novice - I have found a large part of this book on the web also, can't remember where.
My very favourite read is Wrox - J2EE Java server pages
I would stilll recomend avoiding books by Manning which are generally incomplete and point to other books they have published for this other info.
best,
Kev

Advanced java book needed

i need a throrough java book to add to my collection which goes over the most advanced of java programming (reflection, polymorphism etc...) in hopefully one book which has clear examples. if you know of one please give me isbn or title/author id be so grateful. thanks!

So many topics though!
There is a book on Java thread ("Java Threads v2"?)
There are several books on java optimization (like use StringBuffer instead of String)
The Java Lang Spec 2 book.
The Java Virtual Machine 2 book.
The Java Native Inteface 2 book.
I suspect the Sedgewick Algorithms book is good, unless you already have one for another language.
There are some enterprise level books but no titles I can recall right now.
And naturally there are books that apply to advanced java work like some of the design books (like the UML stuff.)

Java Book Suggestion

I just finished my first java course which covered everything up to and including composition, inheritence and polymorphism. However this course was taught with the programs running at the command line. So I am looking for a good book that covers gui's, panels, layout managers etc, that will reinforce the concepts I have already learned but will also give me some experience with some more advanced topics.

As stated in literally 100's of posts--the [Java Tutorial by Sun.|http://java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/]

Eclipse Java Book

Hi sorry if I am posting in the wrong place!
I have started using Eclipse 3.0 but am new to Java also - I have some books on Eclipse itself but am looking for some recommendations on a Java book that might go with Eclipse?
Any help appreciated, Tabilda

Don't use an IDE until you know the languagebetter!
Why not? IMHO the errors and warnings the IDE gives,
with the autocomplete feature and all that stuff, are
pretty useful to a neophyte.Well, of course they're useful. A car which drives itself would be useful, but would it help someone learn to drive? Calculators are useful, but do they improve, or denigrate, mental arithmetic?
The problem with IDEs and newbies is, they have no idea where the language stops and the IDE begins. When they have a problem, they have no idea how to solve it. That's why we see endless questions here proclaiming to be a NetBeans issue, which turns out to be that the OP didn't know some fundamental piece of Java syntax. That's why people get confused about whether "tomcat is compatible with eclipse" or similar, they don't know enough about Java itself to know how nonsensical that is. And nor will they until they know the separation between IDE and language
Auto-complete is a poor aid to learning, since it absolves the user of actually having to know the API he's using

Need a good core java book

As I am a beginer and I have a little bit knowledge of OOPs concepts, So any one suggest me a book which explains each concept of OOps with explanation and sufficent examples upto SWINGS and JDBC connections.

* Horstmann, C. S. and Cornell, G. (2004). Core
Java 2, Volume I� Fundamentals, 7th edition.
Upper Saddle River: Prentice Hall PTR.
* Horstmann, C. S. and Cornell, G. (2004). Core
Java 2, Volume II� Advanced Features, 7th
edition. Upper Saddle River: Prentice Hall PTR.Both great titles, they are sat next to me now.
If you are a true beginner then I'd also recommend:
Nino, J. & Hosch, F. A. (2001) An Introduction to Programming and Object Orientated Design Using Java John Wiley and Sons.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471354899/203-0474646-1863160
Although you'd probably be better with the more recent edition:
Nino, J. & Hosch, F. A. (2004) An Introduction to Programming and Object-Oriented Design Using Java: Java 5.0 Version. 2edn. John Wiley and Sons. http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0471712272/

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.

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?

Java book which is fun.
