The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Java Developer's Resource: A Tutorial and On-Line Supplement (Resource Series)':

Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
Resourceful this book definitely is, covering all the standard topics. In fact, it goes a bit farther, with a chapter on how to generate VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) descriptions with Java. Additional readings are recommended at the end of each chapter for those who want to explore further, and the last chapter in the book lists archive sites, lists, groups, and even a couple of magazines on Java. (And, Elliotte, while I could agree with you on most Java books, you might want to have a look at "Java in a Nutshell" (see reviews) and "Core Java" (see reviews).) The most interesting thing about this book, though, is that while the author states outright that it is for those who already know programming, no knowledge of any specific language is assumed. The explanations thus provided are accessible to any intelligent reader, and therefore provide an excellent introduction to the language, without oversimplifying to the point where the book loses usefulness to the programming expert. I was slightly disappointed by the chapter on object-orientation, but only because of the high quality of the rest of the book: the topic is covered better than in almost all other Java books, and, indeed, better than in many object-oriented programming texts. copyright Robert M.
