The Ultimate Java Quick Reference "This reminds me of the catalogs of integrated circuits that we use to build hardware systems, and shows how far and fast Java has come in having a library of incredibly useful software components. An indispensable desk reference!" -Bill Joy, co-founder, Sun Microsystems, Inc. Quoted from his keynote address at JavaOneSM "I think this book is, quite simply, a stroke of genius. I've been lamenting the stack of Java(tm) books 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 Co-author of the best-selling book Design Patterns The Java Developers Almanac is the most up-to-date and complete quick reference for all three major versions of the core Java Class Libraries-JDK(tm) 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2.
