Reviews

[Rakesh · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good companion to standard textbooks like The Java Programming Language and Thinking in Java.

[Jeremy · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.
