Much more than just the language in a nutshell, and a solid, timely refresh for Java 17 LTS
The book is divided into two main parts. The first part is a solid introduction to the language and the Java platform. If you are new to Java, this will get you working with it quickly. This first section is also worthwhile reading for those who work already work with Java and want to further their knowledge and be more precise with their terminology. Like the editions that precede it, the book contains convenient “nutshell” tables and summaries of the important aspects of the language – the sort of material you can refer to for definitive answers.The second part of the book goes deeper into libraries and common patterns you encounter when working with the language day-to-day. There are chapters on standards topics such as collections and file I/O that will give you a solid introduction (or refresher) in these areas. However, for me, the chapters on classloading and reflection (metaprogramming), and then the following chapter on working with the Java module truly stand out. They provide clear, helpful explanations of these often misunderstood (or half-understood) topics. Throughout the book the authors use a mixture of exposition and code examples to good effect; the examples are quite effective at reinforcing the concepts.The 5-star review is because, in addition to thoroughly covering the “nutshell” aspects, the authors do an outstanding job of framing Java in the context of a living, evolving language and ecosystem. What’s new in Java 17? How and why does it differ from earlier releases? What is likely the change in future releases, and what won’t be changing? Having this background and contextual material interspersed with the nuts and bolts content helped me understand and appreciate the language and platform more deeply.

Pages missing and book falling apart
Great book, extremely informative, but the book itself is about to fall apart with pages literally falling out
