HARDCORE JAVA

Simmons lives and works as a senior software architect in Germany, and has been using Java as his primary language for programming since 1997. Written for the intermediate to advanced Java programmer, his text breaks the language apart piece by piece, covering the fundamentals as well as the nuances of Java, idiosyncrasies of the JDK, and advanced techniques, with the ultimate goal of increasing a programmer's productivity and enjoyment of Java development. The text assumes functional proficiency with Java, and familiarity with basic computer science, Unified Modeling Language, the JDK and the virtual machine.
