A must-have for any Java programmer

This is an excellent book. There are many topics covered in a straightforward manner that you won't find anywhere else. Many clever solutions - I learned a lot from using this book and I've been programming in Java for a while. One of the few computer books worth the steep price.

Great value for intermediate/advanced

You will not be sorry if you buy this book. The book uses a straightforward approach to some of the complicated as well as simple issues. The book is very well organized, and explanations are very clear. I would not recommend it for the beginners, but even if you are just getting comfortable with Java, this book would be an excellent value. CD that comes with this book is also very helpful.

Excellent book

I really liked this book. It deals with very important topics from basic to quite advanced in a very straightforward manner. I use it all the time.

Excellent book for professional Java development.

This book delves into some of the tough real world issues you will run into when building a java application, not just an applet with cute animation. I especially liked the CORBA ORB demonstration to deliver real multi-tiered client/server applications in java. In addition to this being a fine book by itself, on the CD-ROM enclosed with Hacking Java, you receive the complete text of another good java book Special Edition Using Java, plus 4 other books AND a "publisher's edition" of Microsoft Visual J++ Java development environment. This book is a great value
