On to Java (3rd Edition)

(Pearson Education) Text providing the knowledge necessary to master the essentials of Java programming language and creating Java programs. This edition features new material on connecting models to servers, implementing dynamic tables, developing layout managers, and collecting information with servlets. Previous edition: c1996 Softcover. DLC: Java (Computer program language).

A clear, concise, no-nonsense book on Java that would appeal most to serious programmers. Authored by an MIT CS prof and a real-world Java expert. Written in a terse, slide-show style that presents each essential idea in a brief paragraph without unnecessary verbiage. Much like this review.
