| “ | Raves for the First Edition! “I sure wish I had this book ten years ago. Some might think that I don’t need any Java books, but I need this one.” –James Gosling, fellow and vice president, Sun Microsystems, Inc. “An excellent book, crammed with good advice on using the Java programming language and object-oriented programming in general.” –Gilad Bracha, coauthor of The Java™ Language Specification, Third Edition “10/10–anyone aspiring to write good Java code that others will appreciate reading and maintaining should be required to own a copy of this book. This is one of those rare books where the information won’t become obsolete with subsequent releases of the JDK library.” | ” |
–Peter Tran, bartender, JavaRanch.com
“The best Java book yet written.... Really great; very readable and eminently useful. I can’t say enough good things about this book. At JavaOne 2001, James Gosling said, ‘Go buy this book!’ I’m glad I did, and I couldn’t agree more.”
–Keith Edwards, senior member of research staff, Computer Science Lab at the Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), and author of Core JINI (Prentice Hall, 2000)
“This is a truly excellent book done by the guy who designed several of the better recent Java platform APIs (including the Collections API).”
–James Clark, technical lead of the XML Working Group during the creation of the XML 1.0 Recommendation, editor of the XPath and XSLT Recommendations
