    Reviews & endorsements

    'Each of the articles is what we would expect from a Java Report article. Clearly written, a good grasp of the subject from the authors … all written for serious Java developers, for all of us folks who are really developing Java applications … if you have been writing Java applications for a while, and you want some more background information about Java or to learn specific techniques, this is a good book which I can recommend.' Hubert Klein Ikkink, Developers Review
