Average Rating: 
Rating: - Java I/O
Thorough guide to the java.(n)io API. Less useful as a cookbook as the organization of the book follows the API rather than focusing on specific tasks (e.g. how to best copy a file). Could have done without some of the cool chapters such as the one on J2ME (better treated in other books), or the one that describes hooking up a temperature sensor via USB, or a GPS via Bluetooth (publish these projects in a blog). Could also cut the rants about how outdated command line applications are, and I don't ... Read More
Rating:  - Far better resources available
It covers a lot of topics but I did find it particularly helpful in any way. The idea of gathering all the information about I/O into one book to use as a single resource is nice, but this book doesn't do a good job. Not that much help in explaining things and no help at all as far as practical examples went. You will learn much more from general Java books and Google searches.
Rating:  - HAVE A CUP OF JAVA I/O!!
Howell do you know I/O? If you don't know it very well, then this book is for you. Author Elliote Rusty Harold, has done an outstanding job of writing a 2ndedition of a book that shows you the I/O tricks and techniques used by gurus and wizards of the Java world.
Harold, begins with an exploration of I/O in Java. Then, the author discusses the two most common targets of I/O, the filesystem and the network. Next, he discusses filter streams, which are Java's mechanism for processing data ... Read More
Rating: - Pretty good coverage of NIO and practical crypto
Not a fan of O'Reilly books, but this one stands out because of excellent NIO coverage and topical examples. It beats the the "Java NIO" book from O'Reilly hands down. Overall I'd say this book is geared for those who want to implement but covers enough detail that it probably even soothes the more 'academic' out there (those who talk a good show but do not build real-world software).
Some highlights:
- You'll find good coverage of cryptographic I/O aimed at practical implementation. ... Read More
Rating: - Great reference for your file input/output logic...
[Review of 2nd edition]
Getting data into and out of files in your Java program can be painstaking when you consider all the variations... network resources as files, compressed files, text vs. binary data in the file, etc. Java has significant power in this area, but there's a lot to know and understand. Elliotte Rusty Harold has made the task of learning it all a little easier with the book Java I/O (2nd edition).
