Synopsis

The ultimate Java quick reference -- now fully updated for J2SE Version 1.4!

Now printed in 2-color for even easier access.
JDK 1.0/1.1 through J2SE 1.4 -- thousands of classes and members, organized and cross-referenced for fast lookup and complete answers!
Raves from the experts! "An indispensable desk reference!" -Bill Joy, Chief Scientist, Sun Microsystems. "Quite simply, a stroke of genius." -John Vlissides, IBM T.J. Watson Research, and co-author of Design Patterns.

Thousands of expert Java developers rely on The Java™ 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™ Developers Almanac Version 1.4 offers up-to-the-minute, thorough quick-reference information for every major version of the core Java™ 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™ Developers Almanac Version 1.4 presents detailed analyses of API changes for each release, and 300+ "examplets™" 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.
