There are five books in the Java Series from SunSoft Press, Prentice-Hall.
  • instant Java*, by John A. Pew, contains multimedia and animation applets for HTML authors. This is not a programming book.
  • Java by example, by Jerry R. Jackson and Alan L. McClellan, covers all key features with examples, but not as much detail about the language.
  • just Java, by Peter van der Linden, for intermediate programmers, gives good explanations of key features without going into detail.
  • core Java, by Gary Cornell and Cay S. Horstmann, offers detailed coverage of the language and packages for advanced programmers.
  • graphic Java, by Gary McClellan, gives more details on windowing and user interface and includes new classes (not in originial Java release) for such things as "rubberbanding".
* this title is great, but what happened to "express Java", "Percolating through Java", and "Java for Drips"?
