Overall a very good effort, particularly if you're looking to understand some of the nitty gritty details of Jython. The major missing element however is any coverage of threading/synchronization. Java programming often relies heavily on threading and there is no coverage of how to do it in Jython in this book.


I'd suggest this as a companion guide to New Riders' "Jython For Java Programmers". Each is an excellent book and they complement each other well. Between the breadth of coverage in the NR title and the depth of detail in Jython Essentials you should be outcoding straight Java programmers in no time ;).
