Hi

is there a book that jumps right into using java api, instead of
explaining loops and a+b expressions.
something like accelerated c++.

all languages are more or less same in basic control sturctures etc.
its the api, library , applications etc that matter

thanks for help

I'm not much of an expert on books (I generally
prefer the web for information), but someone who
posts regularly around these parts is passionate
about books and has reviewed many..

The JavaDocs (from Sun) gets more into the crux of
the API and (some - depends how you define them)
libraries. The JavaDocs are available for online
browsing, or download.
