Summary: Good Java Overview
Comment: Advanced Techniques for Java Developers provides a good overivew of the newest Java technologies. Topics covered include JFC, Java Media, JavaBeans, EJB, RMI, JDBC, Servlets, Threads, Security, JNI, Network Computers and the Java OS. This breadth of topics gives the reader a good idea of where Java development is and what Java can do.

The sections on JFC and 2-D/3-D media provided me with a needed update on the features of the Java 2 release. The also provides some good descriptions of the inner-workings of Java and the reasoning behind its design. This especially applies to the sections on Security and Threads.

My main complaint about the book relates to the amount of "Preaching" and "Advertising" it does. At one point, the authors devote page after page to the advantages of OO programming and a Three Tiered Architecture. I think anyone reading an "Advanced Java" book would already see the advantages. Two chapters are devoted to promoting Network Computers and the subsequent description of the JavaOS. I found little value in these chapters.

If you want to know what Java can do for you, then get this book. If you've already decided to use Java in you development and you need a detailed guide to a certain package (RMI, Servlets, Swing etc.) then this book won't meet all your needs.
