From the author of Java in a Nutshell comes Java Examples in a Nutshell -- chock-full of practical, real-world Java programming examples that readers can learn or modify for their own use. A must-have for anyone who prefers to learn "by example".
David Flanagan is a computer programmer who has spent much of the last 20 years writing books about programming languages. He now works at Mozilla. David lives with his wife and children in the Pacific Northwest, between the cities of Seattle and Vancouver.
Useful book-- Flanagan's code fragments are a little more detailed than the snippets you might find in other books of this type. Somewhat old--an update to cover Java 5 or 6 would have been welcome.
