Core Java, Volume II--Advanced Features
The #1 Guide to Advanced Java Programming, Fully Updated for Java 11
Core Java has long been recognized as the leading, no-nonsense tutorial and reference for experienced programmers who want to write robust Java code for real-world applications. Now, Core Java, Volume II—Advanced Features, Eleventh Edition, has been updated for Java 11, with up-to-date coverage of advanced UI and enterprise programming, networking, security, and Java’s powerful new module system.
Cay S. Horstmann explores sophisticated new language and library features with the depth and completeness that readers expect from Core Java. He demonstrates how to use these features to build professional-quality applications, using thoroughly tested examples that reflect modern Java style and best practices, including modularization. Horstmann’s examples are carefully crafted for easy understanding and maximum practical value, so you can consistently use them to jump-start your own code.
Master advanced techniques, idioms, and best practices for writing superior Java code Take full advantage of modern Java I/O APIs, object serialization, and regular expressions Efficiently connect to network services, implement network clients and servers, and harvest web data Query databases and manage database connections with the latest version of JDBC Simplify all aspects of date and time programming with the Java Date and Time API Write internationalized programs that localize dates, times, numbers, text, and GUIs Process code in three powerful the scripting API, compiler API, and annotation processing Learn how to migrate legacy code to the Java Platform Module System Leverage the modern Java security features most valuable to application programmers Program advanced client-side user interfaces, and generate images on the server Use JNI to interoperate with native C code See Core Java, Volume I—Fundamentals, Eleventh Edition ( 978-0-13-516630-7), for expert coverage of fundamental Java and UI programming, including objects, generics, collections, lambda expressions, Swing design, concurrency, and functional programming.

When I started learning Java, I was searching for a book that offers a high level of details, but in the same time, considers the fact that I'm starting from the bottom.
Such a book would talk about general features at first hand, makes me a simple Java user, and ready to attack advanced features to master the language and all of the SE.
Core Java, offers more than this. Examples compilation in a manner that you can do them as training labs, before you see the code/solution, which is very efficient since learning is also about applying, mainly when you're still a beginner.

Niedawno zdałem sobie sprawę, że książka programistyczna, by była dobra, musi być napisana zwięźle, ale też i ciekawie i to wszystko, o zgrozo, musi być opakowane w czytelną, ramową formę. Niestety w tej książce zabrakło tych ciekawych przykładów. Częściowo dlatego, że jest to wznowienie, które jest uaktualniane co parę lat, a większość treści jest już bardzo, bardzo stara. Dodatkowo dokładne omówienie APi poszczególnych bibliotek nie pomaga w przetrwaniu przez to ponad 1000 stronicowe dzieło.
Na uwagę zasługuje pierwszy i ostatni rozdział - o strumieniach i o metodach macierzystych. Cały czas szukam lepszej książki ze świata javy, a przeczytałem ich już wcale nie tak mało.

Good book. I guess it is about as good as you can get while trying to shove several so called advanced topics into one book. This is still more on the api and rules side as opposed to example of good use cases to use things like custom ClassLoaders etc.

Great textbook for advanced features

Pretty dull, and I'm glad it's over.

Good but nothing about Spring or Hibernate.

generally good
Good book, but it is overfocused on the legacy staff like Applets, UI, etc. Good for newbies as well, explains base computer science principles
