a Nutshell
from O'Reilly is clearly the favorite resource amongst the legion of
developers and programmers using Java technology. And now, with the
release of the 5.0 version of Java, O'Reilly has given the book that
defined the "in a Nutshell" category another impressive tune-up.
In this latest revision, readers will find Java in a
Nutshell,
5th Edition, does more than just cover the extensive changes implicit in
5.0, the newest version of Java. It's undergone a complete makeover--in
scope, size, and type of coverage--in order to more closely meet the
needs of the modern Java programmer.
To wit, Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition
now places less emphasis on coming to
Java from C and C++, and adds more discussion on tools and frameworks.
It also offers new code examples to illustrate the working of APIs,
and, of course, extensive coverage of Java 5.0. But faithful readers
take comfort: it still hasn't lost any of its core elements that made
it such a classic to begin with.
This handy reference gets right to the
heart of the program with an accelerated introduction to the Java
programming language and its key APIs--ideal for developers wishing to
start writing code right away. And, as was the case in previous
editions, Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition is once again chock-full of
poignant tips, techniques, examples, and practical advice. For as long
as Java has existed, Java in a Nutshell has helped
developers maximize the capabilities of the program's newest versions.
And this latest edition is no different.
