Other Books to Consider

Sams Publishing and other publishers offer several useful books on Java programming, including some that follow up on the material covered in this book. Use these ISBN numbers at bookstores if they don’t currently carry the book that you’re looking for:

• Sams Teach Yourself Java in 21 Days, by Rogers Cadenhead (me! me! me!), ISBN: 0-672-33574-3. Though some of the material in the first half of this book is redundant, it covers Java in more depth and adds a lot of advanced topics. If you’re ready to make another 504-hour commitment to learning Java, this should be a suitable book.

• The Java EE 6 Tutorial: Basic Concepts, Fourth Edition, by Eric Jendrock and others, ISBN 0-13708-185-5. This book introduces the Java Enterprise Edition (JEE), an extended form of the Java class library for use in large businesses in large-scale computing environments.

• Java Phrasebook, by Timothy R. Fisher. ISBN 0-67232-907-7. A collection of more than 100 snippets of code for use in your own Java projects, created by a professional programmer and Java Developer’s Journal contributor.

• Agile Java Development with Spring, Hibernate and Eclipse by Anil Hemrajani. A book for Java Enterprise Edition that shows how to use the Spring framework, Hibernate library, and Eclipse IDE to reduce the complexity of enterprise application programming.
