Hardcore Java Review by ws__

Intermediate Java by a peer

This book disappointed me. The title raised so high expectations. I started very enthusiastically to read the book and ended in wading through quite a mess.

The level of the book is intermediate, certainly not advanced.

The topics and treatment in this book are quite mixed in level and style. A little about the language itself (so I learned happily about the existence of labels in Java), a lot about the API (here I appreciated most the dynamic proxy and the reference package discussion) and even an entire chapter on design (which I did not like at all).

If you want to learn a little more about Java and have already read the top notch "Effective Java", then this book is full of useful suggestions of areas for further exploration.
