This book not only gets you going with QTJ, but it also provides a great introduction to QuickTime in general. I have some other books on QuickTime, and this is the only one that shows you how to get the simple jobs done, with enough information to help you figure out how to get the hard jobs done, so after reading this book I was able to not only use QuickTime for Java, but also use QuickTime in C. The book is easy to read, short, and nevertheless very practical. Well done!

"...if you do program in Java and you are interested in developing QuickTime applications, then QuickTime for Java(TM): A Developer's Notebook by Chris Adamson (O'Reilly, 2005) should be on your bookshelf. Better yet, it should be propped open on your desk as you work your way though it."
