Thousands of expert Java developers rely on The Java(TM) Developers Almanac for the fast answers they need to save time -- and the authoritative guidance they need to build great applications. Together, the Part A and Part B volumes are twice as big as the previous edition, The Java(TM) Developers Almanac Version 1.4 offers up-to-the-minute, thorough quick-reference information for every major version of the core Java(TM) Class Libraries, from JDKs 1.0/1.1 through the brand-new J2SE Version 1.4. You'll find updated coverage of 2,100 classes and 24,000 members -- all formatted, organized, and cross-referenced for easy lookup. No other quick ref includes as much information. The book is now printed in 2-color -- so it's even easier to find what you're looking for. The Java(TM) Developers Almanac Version 1.4 presents detailed analyses of API changes for each release, and 300+ "examplets(TM)" succinctly demonstrating each package's key operations. This, Part A, and its companion Part B, are logically divided in a way programmers will understand. Both volumes are essential resources for every Java developer.
The Ultimate Java Technology Quick Reference
"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(TM) 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(TM) technology has come in having a library of incredibly useful software components. An indispensable desk reference!"
--Bill Joy, cofounder, Sun Microsystems, Inc. Quoted from his keynote at JavaOne "I think this book is, quite simply, a stroke of genius. I've been lamenting the stack of books on Java(TM) technology 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, and coauthor of the best-selling book, Design Patterns
The Java(TM) Developers Almanac 1.4 is the most up-to-date and complete quick reference for the Java Class Libraries--JDK(TM) 1.0, 1.1, and J2SE(TM) v1.2, v1.3, v1.4. Information for 3,000 classes and 32,000 members is carefully formatted and arranged for easy lookup. In these two volumes you will find:
Volume 1 covers java.beans to org.xml, 91 packages useful for server-side development.
Volume 2 covers java.applet to javax.swing, 45 packages useful for developing GUI applications.
No matter what level programmer you are, you will find this book an invaluable tool for everyday development.
