Book review ... Java Cookbook, Ian F Darwin, O'Reilly, June 2001

"This book is ideal for anyone who knows some Java and wants to learn more". So says the author in his preface, and he's right. There's other books out there to teach you the basics and syntax of Java, books that will teach you about Object Oriented Design, or in some detail about a specific use of Java such as Servlets of JSPs.

Have you ever thought "surely there has to be an easy method to ....", and that's where the "Java Cookbook" comes in. Its 800 pages are packed with information, all arranged in a
 problem - solution - discussion - see also
format which will rapidly get you on the right track when you make new uses of your Java knowledge in areas as wide ranging as String Handling to working with graphics, and from Internationalisation to JSPs.

Ian Darwin has put a huge effort into researching answers to the questions that stump many newcomers to Java, and has catalogued his answers well. If you've already learnt Java, but don't yet know all the answers instantly, I would encourage you to add this book to your library
