eBooks that discusses the java.io package

can you please recommend some good ebooks that only discusses the java.io package. viewing its API, it seems to be very huge and maybe there are references or tutorials out there just for the io package

thanks! :D

Basic I/O in Oracle's Tutorial is a good place to start.

that seems to be a long one. but I think I can go through it! :rolleyes:
anyway thanks. :D

You're welcome.

The basic ideas of character vs byte streams, and the tasks of getting stuff to and from files and the console (screen/keyboard) are all covered in the first 5 chapters of the first section. But it's good to know that the rest is there.

thanks! appreciate it. :D

I like Thinking in Jave (Bruce Eckel's MindView, Inc: Free Electronic Book: Thinking in Java, 3rd Edition) by Bruce Eckel.
The third edition (chapter 12 on IO) is free on the web.

thanks! i will surely look at that! :D
