Publisher's Synopsis
"I love this book. Its dense condensation of the details a developer needs makes it the one book I pull out over and over again." -James Gosling, Fellow and Vice President, Sun Microsystems, Inc., and inventor of the Java programming language "This reminds me of the catalogs of integrated circuits that we use to build hardware systems, and shows how far and fast Java technology has come in having a library of incredibly useful software components. An indispensable desk reference!" -Bill Joy, co-founder, Sun Microsystems, Inc. "I think this book is, quite simply, a stroke genius. Ive been lamenting the stack of books on Java technology Ive had to pore over when all I needed was a detail about some method or package. The Almanac is the one-stop shop I was unconsciously waiting for." -John Vlissides, IBM TJ Watson, and co-author of the best-selling book Design Patterns Quoted from his keynote at JavaOneSM The Java Developers Almanac 2000 is the most up-to-date and complete quick reference for the Java Class Libraries-JDK1.0, 1.1, and J2SE v1.2, v1.3.
