Bloch on Java 1.5
Joshua Bloch is interviewed about the new features in Java 1.5, due in late 2003. He also wrote the book Effective Java, which has saved me who knows how many hours already. The Slashdot comments are also interesting. Posted at May 09, 2003 at 08:40 PM ESTLast updated May 09, 2003 at 08:40 PM EST Comments
I'll second that comment on the Bloch book -- so many really great insider tips, so many of them being so simple that a thick-skull like mine can even absorb them, and a lot of them totally counter to everything we've ever been taught about OOP, only it goes this way because of design decisions under the hood. It's not a reference book, but every java programmer should read it at least once. » Posted by: mrG at May 10, 2003 12:34 AMIt's too bad that this latest and greatest JDK , will as usual, yet to be immediatly available to *BSD :-( » Posted by: roy at May 10, 2003 04:19 AMman.. I really have to buy that book... (hopefully they'll have it in the store next-time I'm downtown...) » Posted by: Peter at May 11, 2003 05:42 PM |
