The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'Java In a Nutshell Edition (Nutshell Handbook)':

Reviewer amazon.com wrote:
Java is a new, simple, portable, secure, elegant programming language that promises to make it possible to write entirely new kinds of applications for the Internet. This handbook is an indispensable quick reference designed to lie flat and wait faithfully by the side of every Java programmer's keyboard. It contains an accelerated introduction to Java for C and C++ programmers who want to learn the language fast.
Reviewer Rob Slade wrote:
The O'Reilly Nutshell series are more reference than tutorial, and therefore this work is not meant as an introduction to Java. It assumes a background in C or C++, as well as familiarity and experience with object-oriented programming. Given any of that background and some determination, however, Flanagan's work serves quite well as a presentation of the Java language. There is a quick history and background (which, for once, doesn't oversell the security aspects of Java), a chapter on how Java differs from C (and C++), and a brief but excellent introduction to objects in Java. There is, of course, the usual coverage of the Java API, a Java language reference, a quick reference and cross reference. Of particular interest are the chapters on Java security (the Java Virtual Machine implements, among other things, a non-von Neumann architecture) and Unicode. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1996
