The Java Developers Almanac 1999 (Java Series) Book

Java grows larger and more feature-rich each year. The Java Developer's Almanac 1999 provides experienced programmers with a carefully organized portrait of the language since JavaSoft's release of Java 2. This book presents information on all core Java packages and their contents (except javax.swing.plaf.*, omitted to save space) in tabular, easily searchable form. Entries for hundreds of classes and interfaces include inheritance information and member listings, complete with argument specifications and return data types. Package entries give brief summaries in English of what each package member does. The only elements of this book that are slightly didactic are the succinct examples that show how to perform various tasks, such as create a JavaBean or load native code. Patrick Chan based The Java Developer's Almanac 1999 on a late preview release of what used to be called Java 1.2, now known in its final form as Java 2. Though he refers to "Java 1.2" in the text, this book actually covers Java 1.0x, Java 1.1x, and Java 2--the difference between Java 1.2 and Java 2 is semantic. --David WallRead More

    The Ultimate Java Quick Reference
    "This reminds me of the catalogs of integrated circuits that we use to build hardware systems, and shows how far and fast Java has come in having a library of incredibly useful software components. An indispensable desk reference!"
    -Bill Joy, co-founder, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
    Quoted from his keynote address at JavaOneSM

    "I think this book is, quite simply, a stroke of genius. I've been lamenting the stack of Java(tm) books I've 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
    Co-author of the best-selling book Design Patterns

    The Java Developers Almanac is the most up-to-date and complete quick reference for all three major versions of the core Java Class Libraries-JDK(tm) 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. (Due to space constraints, the javax.swing.plaf.* packages are not included.) No other JDK quick reference includes as much information in a single convenient volume. Information from 1,500 classes and 17,000 members is carefully formatted and arranged for easy lookup.

    In this book you will find:
    Complete member listings of every class (including inherited members!)
    Class inheritance hierarchies for every package
    An extensive cross-reference section
    Detailed analysis of API changes for each major release
    Quick-reference information for the language, the virtual machine, JNI, PersonalJava, and more

    A valuable new feature of the 1999 Almanac is the addition of more than 250 examplets(tm) that succinctly demonstrate the most common operations for a package.

    No matter what level Java programmer you are, you will find this book an invaluable tool for everyday Java development.
