An excellent read for anyone who intends to develop Java Card applications.......2006-03-15

A really good book that explains not only Java Card specifics, but also some smartcard basics. A must read for someone who is intending to develop applications around Java Card and has never developed any application for smartcard. This book also covers some preliminary cryptography needed to understand Java Card API and applet loading. This book however only covers Java Card 2.1, with Java Card 2.2 and contactless products emerging at market place, another edition is due. Object sharing interface mechanisms are very well covered and so are some of the gotchas of ISO 7816 and its usage. It also includes a step-by-step guide to develop Java Card applets. Overall, a bible for someone who wants to be an expert Java Card developer.

Excellent book.......2004-03-23

I'm really impressed by the amount of details presented in this book. It really starts from the basics and covers lot of details which may interest advanced programmers/architects. It covers advanced topics like Transactions etc in detail.

If you are looking for a good reading as well as reference book, I would suggest buying this book. It will go a long way with you!

When the Java Card volume 2?.......2003-09-08

Ok, prepare yourself to my orrible english!
To be full honest with U I'm relatively new to java card development. This book explains very well all the API and give us nice ideas how to use the smart cards in a real environment.
But it fails when we reach the testing point. Yes, ther'is no testing at all.
How do we have to use the java card kit?
How to compile and use the produced output?
How to test the code in a emulated card environment?
Nothing.
You will remain with the code in your hands only.
Obviously...U will find yourself to check the web again...

A Must for Java Card Developers.......2003-08-14

If you're like me, new to Java Card development, this seems to be a must have. The book provides an introduction into Java Card development, code samples throughout the book and a brief step by step development guide. It also has the all important API reference documentation in the appendix.

High-effective but fragile.......2002-10-13

This book encourages better OO design and analysis, shows how to involve the entire team of developers to the design of the whole system. The authors also describe how to gain benefit from involving the user and other parties to the OO design process.

I was in OO development for five years and I was thinking about a solution which will improve the efficiency of OO design and help to avoid splitting the program between developers who create their own set of classes they are responsible for. Such splitting leads to integration problems and overall design imbalance. Fred Brooks has described this consequences in his famous book "The Mythical Man-Month", where the modules are being written first and integrated later, and the coordination of interfaces between modules written by each developer requires essential effort and time. The CRC Card Book shows how to have "the interfaces" coordinated in the very beginning.

However, the methodology described in this book is "fragile". As soon as it isn't followed by all of the developers, it became useless. But if it is followed, the results are amazing. The book, however, is not very easy to read and lack something which can attract the developers who are "neutral" to improving their way of creating OO programs. But, for the people who already have strong OO background and are seeking the way how to improve their efficiency significant, the book is a must-have.

Informal down to earth technique for everybody.......2002-03-15

This book and the stream of thought it stems from is one of the most influental in OO software engineering. It focuses on sharing responsibility in a system. It takes into account the obvious parallels between software teams and their software systems.
The technique itself can be very enjoyable and if you can convince very formal people to use it, it will change their lives, much more then any formal OO methodology will do. CRC Cards make you live software systems! This should be the first experience of everybody who wants to learn OO. You can even use it to explain your work to your kids:-)

Ideal for getting you started on "how to" identify Classes........2000-12-03

You want to know a great way on "how to" identify classes from any type of user requiremnets? Buy this book now!

A lot of OOA books like to tell how to design from start to finish. However, some (most) of us are thrown in some obligatory process without consent. CRC will bridge the gap on getting your Classes defined.

Also, CRC works well for "Use Cases". I use CRC after a good Use Case session for Class Diagrams. Some prefer to do CRC before Use Cases. That's the beauty, CRC can be injected anywhere you deem fit.

And, finally, this book will get you "thinking in objects" fast!

Great book for helping do high level OO design........1998-12-02

I have been trying to teach OOD to new graduates for a couple of years. Now I teach through this book first. It has more good information about how to get groups to come up with good designs than any other book I have found. Be warned, it's not about UML or Java. The book is about how to get people to work out a design together.

Smart card application development using Java.......2006-10-30

I bought this book looking for a deeper reference regarding Javacard applets, native code in smartcards and so on. Neverthless I found the book very useful in the off-card stuff, because it explains in a very clear way how to access the terminal, send APDU's, etc., always using the Open Card Framework which is very important for us Java developers. I strongly recommend this if you are developing applications in Java that must access smartcards, but if you're developing also the on-card software, let's say the Javacard applets, then you must also get the book from Zhiqun Chen also available in amazon.

This is the only book that explains the OCF in details..........2000-02-27

As a person who is concerning in developing javacards via OCF, found this one very useful due to contents that it has on framework. You could get and develop off-card apps, if it does make sense to you..

Too heavy based on OCF.......2000-02-12

The important thing that I notice is that the book is too heavily based on the Open Card framework. I needed instead a book on java card first. Only found some tutorials on the net until now.

Book Description

An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java provides an accessible and thorough introduction to the basics of programming in java. This much-anticipated revision continues its emphasis on object-oriented programming. Objects are used early so students begin thinking in an object-oriented way, then later Wu teaches students to define their own classes.

In the third edition, the author has eliminated the author-written classes, so students get accustomed to using the standard java libraries.

In the new update, the author has included the Scanner Class for input, a new feature of Java 1.5.

Also new is the use of smaller complete code examples to enhance student learning. The larger sample development programs are continued in this edition, giving students an opportunity to walk incrementally walk through program design, learning the fundamentals of software engineering. The number and variety of examples makes this a student-friendly text that teaches by showing.

Object diagrams continue to be an important element of Wu's approach. The consistent, visual approach assists students in understanding concepts.

i'm using this book for a java class and it's horrible. mass confusion and some errors/typo in the book. nothing makes sense and it's very unorganized. if you have to use this book for a class, buy the sams "java in 21 days" so you can reference it.

Visual Java Teaching Book.......2005-01-11

A good visual book, teaching by the UML diagrams. Suitable for beginners to intermediate level and a bit more. Nice colorful book. With the help of "Sample Developments" this book will give you some real practical experiments throughout each chapter. My suggestion for those who want to begin Java with no prior programming experience is "Java 60 Minutes a Day" which you can find it in my review list. In my view, as an intermediat programmer, is a bit difficult to understand core java with this book.

Good for beginner.......2004-12-12

This book is good for java beginner and it is highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn java in a fun and with more graphic. However, there is less topic covered. It is highly expect that more area coverage in later edition.

Better than the best cup of Java.......2004-08-06

Note: OOP = object oriented princibles OOT = object oriented technology

This was the textbook used for the introduction to computer programming class I just finished taking during 2004. I absolutly loved it!

In my opinion, this is an excellent book for those who know NOTHING about programming. The first few chapters deal with the basics of programming in general. Then the book quickly and gently introduces the object oriented side of programming. Thus, the bulk of the book is developing both your general programming skills along with your OOP java skills.

What I loved about the book was that it was so remarkably easy to read. Important words/concepts are reiterated throughout to reinforce memory. Everything is explained with only the neccesary technical jargon. Terms and concepts are gradually and thoughtfully introduced, and then used appropriatly throughout the following chapters. I'm guessing about 1/3 of every page consists of diagrams, reinforcing what is read in a wonderfully clear visual mannor. Furthermore, the book provides the information in a surprisingly VISUAL mannor (lots of diagrams and pretty color pages); this is fabulous for first time programmers, especially since programming is inheirantly non-visual.

I admit Java isn't the easiest language to learn, like Basic, however it is remarkably sophisticated. Java does not involve either the complex syntax of C++ or the dangerously powerful and yet complicated pointers of C (also C++).

Java is not linked to a specific platform like Visual Basic, which is MS Windows ONLY (do we really need to be more dependant on MS). Although C# is almost identical to Java in terms of object oriented technology and syntax (MS stole the whole thing from Sun!), Java is not eternally latched to the MS beast.

Unlike the oh-so-easy Basic language, Java is extraodinarly versitile and practical with uses from typical desktop application programming to wickedly awsome web-application development arena, which is not practical with the popular C and C++ languages.

Ultimatly the splendar of Java revolves around its wonderful OOP design. For me, developing a Java app. is like createing a piece of architectural artwork. Java's unadulterated use of OO concepts, such as interfaces, the object, abstraction, encapsulation, inheiratance, polymorphism, ect. all allow for truly elegant, robust, and downright...gorgeus pieces of code. OOT isn't the future, it is the present. OOT allows developers to advance through the development proces with a level of robustness, efficiency, and elegance not possible with archaic procedural languages *cough C cough* . If your gonna go OO, go all the way. Dont half-ass it with C++, which is nothing more than a procedural language add-on.

Sorry about the digression into the world of Java...

Back to this book...When I read this book beforehand, the class lectures felt stale, becasue I already had such a strong grasp of the concepts by only reading the book. I truly do not understand what others have said in reviews about how the book is so poor. Yes, this isnt a great reference, but that's because it isn't a reference; its an introduction to programming via the OO paradigm. I guess I'll bend a bit to the idea that it throws a lot at you, but that is simply because this book is all about OOP, which is delightfully sophisiticated. C claim to fame is brute machine language force, in contrast, Java's strength is software architectural sophistication and elegance. You will learn the tools of OOT software architecture and thus you will learn to think in the object-oriented paradigm. Over the summer I was working at an internship doing all programming, unfortuatly in C#. I converted visual basic 6.0 programs into the .NET platform via C#. My programs, those of a simple novice programmer, were far more robust and elegant than those of the veteran visual basic programmers who didn't have as good a hold of OOT's client-server architecture.

I believe this is a great book for FIRST TIME programmers because of its clarity and simplicity. Not only did I find it easy to self-learn with, it actually enjoyed it more that way!

Essentially, my time with Java has been a freakin blast! I've been able to use the software architectural skills imbued by Java's smooth OOT to create remarkably robust, elegant, and efficiant software. I viscously support Java and its OOT architecture. I owe it all to this book.

Note: the new edition of this book just came out. Its been updated for the new 1.5 Java upgrade. The author may have corrected/improved what ever those 'other' people may have not liked. I haven't read the new version, but I bet it's even better than before!

Chock full of errors and typos.......2003-06-03

This was the assigned textbook for my first graduate-level programming class. I was told that the first edition had tons of errors and that the second edition was vastly improved. Yikes! We used the second edition and it was unbelievable how many errors there were -- in the explanations, in the formulas, in the chapter review questions and "quick checks." In addition, there is an ancillary web site for the text that purports to include error listings and corrections. BUT, the listing does not exist, even though the edition has a 2001 copyright date. We were lucky to have a good professor who helped us identify the errors. Otherwise, I would be one confused, frustrated, novice 'programmer'.

god-awful programming book.......2002-12-21

This book is insanely bad for academic purposes. It uses a non-standard package (javabook), which, though useful, does not prepare you for actual Java programming. In addition, this book is one of the worst language references I've ever seen. The first-semester computer science course at my university switched to this book starting this semester, and it helps to make an already difficult course significantly harder than it needs to be. The only way this book can be effectively used is in a class taught by a superb instructor. Otherwise, forget it. The book is uninteresting, uninformative, and generally just not useful. To all computer science professors out there: please do not make your students use this book.

Best Beginners Programming Book I've Read.......2005-04-17

The book wastes little time getting into classes and contains a substantial introduction to GUI programming, something that, inexplicably, many other books fail to do. It even gets into threads! The appendices in the back contain descriptions of many of the classes in the standard Java packages and their member functions, which can be very useful. It should be noted that there is a newer version of this book, but this older version is not yet out of date.
