Professional Java JDK 6 Edition Paperback – 12 Jan. 2007

This book is useful for old school java programmers who have gotten a bit out of touch with the latest and greatest. It covers a number of useful topics and then again not some, for example why Hibernate was added is a riddle, frameworks should not be part of this.A closer focus on POJO would have benefited this book a bit more. A times it goes down to a lot of detail and then zooms back up and skips over stuff.All in all, lots of great stuff here to help a java programmer, but most topics will need more research to be full grasped.Looking for details of new language features: 5/10Looking for an updated overview of the landscape: 8/10

The book provide really helpful for you if you are trying to know more about Java after you have done it. It provides a lot of examples for doing one thing in different ways.
