With a basic tutorial and a nicely organized listing of Java methods (grouped by specific packages), this text is a great resource to have on one's desktop and is suitable for anyone who programs with Java on a day-to-day basis.   This small-format book (measuring 9 by 6 inches) will fit into a briefcase--despite having more than 1,200 pages of reference material. Organized by Java package, the book tours the most common Java APIs, centering on the "core" and user-interface classes in Java (for instance, AWT and Swing). Early sections explain the basics of Java, including data types, keywords, and language constructs. Sections on the newer Java 2 collection classes are notably useful and concise. The rule of thumb in this text is both to list all methods associated with a class and describe all arguments and return types. Most entries also contain sample code.   Topics covered:       * Java 2/JDK 1.2 reference and tutorial     * Overview of Java, Java variables and data types, arrays, and collection classes     * Java I/O classes including file I/O     * Java networking (sockets, URLs, and connections)     * AWT classes and methods     * Event objects and applets     * Basic Swing user-interface classes and methods     * Swing borders, tables, and trees     * Java Bean support classes, additional Java packages, and sample code       Product Description Java is a platform-netural, Object-Oriented programming language which provides a large number of predefined library classes which greatly simplify common programming tasks.   This book is a quick reference to the parts of the language and libraries you'll need 90% of time time - the language has grown so large it is not possible to cover the entire class library in one book. Instead, this book covers the commonly-used packages: the Java language, utility, I/O, and network programming classes, together which those for GUI development using the Abstract Windowing Toolkit and Swing, applets, event handling, and Java Beans.   In each chapter the important classes and methods within the package are presented, along with clear, concise examples that demonstrate how to use them.
