Hands-on Java CD-ROM - 2nd Edition 12/2000 SONDERPreis

This is more than 15 hours of audio lectures
synchronized with 500 slides of information. The seminar is based entirely on the
second edition of Thinking in Java (which is updated to be completely based on
Java 2), from which the seminar is derived, so it is an ideal supplement to the
book. The lectures begin with Java syntax and go all the way through such
advanced topics as multithreading and network programming.

The CD contains almost 500MB of content. We believe that it sets a new
standard for value.

Java 2 only — completely updated to follow the 2nd edition of Thinking in
Java

Although the CD contains the same slides that are used in the Thinking in
Java Hands-On Seminar, the CD is able to cover a little more than time
allows in the 5-day seminar. One bonus is Passing & Returning Objects,
which is Appendix A from Thinking in Java.

All the lectures on the CD have been completely re-recorded with improved
sound equipment and a much better digital recording format (the popular
MP3) than used in the first edition of the CD. If they wish, users may move
the sound files to a portable MP3 player for more convenient listening
(printable handouts are available in Adobe Acrobat form on the CD).

What People Say...

"Eckel is an accomplished presenter and a pleasure to listen to ... an excellent
introduction to Java for people with a basic understanding of programming ... a
great value."

"Innovative, entertaining, and useful"

"It takes away parts of the need for having explicit and detailed Java tutorial
courses"

Arne-Jorgen Berre, SINTEF

"I have learned more from your CD and book than from any other source. Thank
you for making it."

Roy Wagner, ACCESSible Database Systems

"The CD is FANTASTIC. I started working through your slides for the "Hands-on
Java" class that you offer and its almost like being there (less the Golden Gate
Bridge.....any way you could work that in?) :-) Thanks for the CD and keep up the
great work!"

Daniel S. Seewer, Project Leader, GE Capital CFS

"I am quite impressed by the way it is organised. I particularly like the
combination of Seminar and Book: the intonation and various nuances of the
voice help to reinforce the written word.The down-to-earth, no nonsense approach
is very much appreciated. I think it is a great product and well worth the cost.
Thanks, Bruce."

Wilf Stacey

"Thank you very much - You are a class act!!! I consider you the epitome of what
the internet should be in terms of how information, products, commerce, and
success should be."

Paul Grunwald, Intel

"I was listening and soon lost track of time. The demo has convinced me that the
CD will be a worthwhile purchase."

Jeremy Nickolet - University Student.

"I just received the CD-ROM and, as I thought, it is a great piece of work. We use
the book here in classes and I believe it is one of the best educational resources
about Java."

Dr. Reuven Aviv, Snr Lecturer of Computer Science, Dept. of
Information Technologies, The Waikato Polytechnic, Hamilton, New Zealand.

wonderful. ... The audio is wonderful. Thanks so much."
