After been reading this book for a course this semester, I would like to give a short review of it.
Java Precisely is a great little book, in just over hundred pages. The author Peter Sestoft presents a concise reference for the Java language. The book has many practical examples for almost every chapter, which I think is important for learning in general.
Especially the chapters describing generics/collections, reflection, annotations and threads are very great. He achieves to give you all the basics for this areas.
Besides the practical and theory (text-based), the book also has quite many nice illustrations on certain areas.
My overall opinion on this book is that every student, who wishes to have a great reference for the Java language, has to buy it. If you want the reference to include material about Java SE 5, you have to buy the 2nd edition.
Thanks for this great reference Peter.
