JAVA 1.5 TIGER: A DEVELOPER'S NOTEBOOK

Although the name "Tiger" may not be official yet, the 100-plus substantial changes to the core language and numerous additions to the library and API definitely are. Printed on graph paper with room for notes, this book bypasses the theoretical and focuses on the practical, starting with new features in arrays, queues, overriding return types, Unicode and StringBuilder. Chapters that follow include generics, enumerated types, autoboxing and unboxing, varangs, annotations, the "for/in" statement, static imports, formatting, and threading. Each topic starts with a brief explanation followed by examples and application tips. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
