Summary: Good but with Java in a nutshell, annoying redundency.
Review: Although the author acknowledges that this is a companion guide for (his other book) Java in a nutshell, many examples are lifted **verbatim** from the original book. This is truly annoying. Technically the material is good. But more depth should have been there. For example, more complex MT programs could have been presented. Apart from throwing more lite on rmi and perhaps a bit on jdbc, value addition of this book on its own is questionable. Author should have resisted the temptation of lifting his programs from java-in-a-nutshell, especially when he says its a companion.

Review: Even if you don't have the "Java in a nutshell" you have to have this book! It is worth every page.

Summary: Hmmmmmmm
Review: Excellent book if you are the type that learns from practicing examples. This book is not for beginners, in that the author assumes or does not explain everything while demonstrating the examples.

Summary: Excellent Start up book!
Review: For experienced c++ programmers to learn java, I strongly recomend this book! It will greatly save your time!I have read some other books, but I was tired of they repeatedly saying "what is a class, what is an interface, method, event...." I already know these concepts, what I want to know is how Java implements these concepts. This book is right for me. Just look into the examples you will get all the answers.

Review: for the person that said the only drawback was that there was no CD with the examples - you don't have to type the examples.

Summary: Excellent Companion Book
Review: For those of you, like myself, who have purchased numerous books on the Java programming language, O'Reilly's Java Examples in a Nutshell is a great companion to your Java library. This book provides excellent examples for both the beginner and advanced Java programmer covering everything from utilizing the core Java API to AWT/Swing to more advanced real-world examples using RMI, JDBC, and Servlet development. The best thing about this book is it that it provides readable examples of some concepts that aren't so easily explained in regular documentation. To see a great variety of Java's capabilities put into real working examples is extremely valuable to the Java developer of any skill level.

Summary: If you have Java in a Nutshell you have to get Java Examples
Review: Hello, My name is Johnathan Mark Smith from the Staten Island Java Group (http://www.statenislandonline.com/java) and I would just like to tell everyone on the internet that if you have the book Java in a Nutshell then you have to get Java Examples in a Nutshell. This book covers all of the cool JDK 1.1 stuff and it has some great examples

Summary: These examples really work.
Review: I haven't encountered any compilation or run-time errors with the many examples from this book that I've learned from so far. I've had the same experience with the examples in the author's other Java books as well. In addition, I find the author to be thorough, concise, and an excellent teacher.

Summary: Great companion to any JAVA curriculum
Review: I learned JAVA using the Core Java books and found that I wasnt learning anything from just typing in the examples in the book. I wasnt "thinking" JAVA. I saw a friend of mine at work with this book and picked up a copy for myself. First of all it contains source for several concepts for each of the various language topics. Then it gives exercises to complete. They were challenging, but not overly challenging that I needed to spend an entire day writing UML diagrams to do it. Good companion to any learning method you are using.
