Don't waste money on this book
This is a wateful book. I went through this book to work on an RMI project that i had undertaken. The RMI chapter has examples that are full of errors. The section on CALLBACKS is all wrong and just will not work correctly. Absolute waste of money if you bought it.

Two thumbs-up...
a very good starting introduction to a varity of advanced subjects. The book uses the very useful method of developing one example through the book with different ways.I highly recommend this book.

Dont buy this book
The examples are full of errors for starts...most of them are simple syntax errors, and that in itself does not warrent a terrible review. My real problem with the book is the authors do not know what they are talking about. The chapter on Java Beans is wrong. Not like the code doen't work wrong, but what they describe as a Java Bean is not a Java Bean, but a type of Java Beans. This is only one example. Also the book has an annoying habit of putting many examples in AWT and Swing. This might just be me, but I could really care less. I don't know how to make applets, and don't want to, I want to know how to make a networked application independant of the UI.
Finally the authors insane predictions of the future of the Java Language are both annoying, and shows their misunderstanding of the Java Language.
