Programmers can cut right to the chase and learn Java 1.2 fast with this fully-revised and updated edition of Just Java, Peter van der Linden's long-time best-seller! The new edition includes practical introductions to the important new features added to JDK 1.2, especially the graphical "Swing" components. Written in the author's trademark humorous style, it presents a crystal-clear introduction to both Java and object-oriented programming. You'll find extensive real-world examples, and expert insight into both the advantages and challenges of programming with Java 1.2. The accompanying CD-ROM is a truly awesome resource, including extensive sample code from several top Java programmers, the complete 121-page Java Programmer's FAQ, and tons of great freeware, including Linux, Samba, Perl, Tcl, Python, the Algol compiler, Java games, and much more.
