uhhh, wait. This is a book?

Nice intro in the changes to the language but not that well balanced I would have liked some more details in the part about supporting dynamism. It doesn't do more than saying it exists. No code sample either. The part about switching on strings is so trivial it could have done without a code sample.

Short and to the point

I choose this book to know about the changes and New feature in java 7. Air need to say that the author has done a wonderful job. He has put out some new features and upgrades in a short manner.
It's a free book a plus and amazing double plus.

It is not really a book, there are articles longer than the this 10-pages book. But actually the contents of this so called book are as the title says, what is new in Java 7. Straight to the point. Read it, and you are on your way to start using JDK7.

A brief review.

[Rob · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good summary of the new features in Java 7. A bit brief at times, but still an interesting, topical discussion, with examples where appropriate.

Luckily I got the Kindle version for free. Nothing I didn't already know.

nicely done

This is a nice short summary of new features, both language specific and JVM, added to Java 7.

My one complaint is that the new version doesn't have more to cover.

Useful for a quick overview of new Java features, but it explains nothing.

Basic and uninformative introduction to the changes in Java 7.
