Hello All,

I am going to buy a few Java books which
covers the following topics in good detail
for intermediate to advanced programmers:
Networking
Multithreading
JDBC
Servlets and JSP
J2EE
Practical tips
GUI

I know that there many good books in the
market and there some overlap in their
coverage, but I want to buy minimum number
books.

Thanks for your help !

Jim

Bruce Eckel's 'Thinking In Java' is pretty good for most of your list,
but it doesn't really cover GUI at all (I don't really think of it as an
introductory title, even though that's what it's intended to be).
Although I've not looked at it yet, there's always O'Reilly's 'Java
Cookbook' if you want code. Finally, one of the best
intermediate/advanced Java books is still Joshua Bloch's 'Effective Java'.

Take a look at the TechBookReport Java page
(http://www.techbookreport.com/JavaIndex.html) for more detailed reviews.
