Product Review
The Java Developers Almanac 1998 presents all the core Java packages and their members in an easy-to-consult format. The first part of Chan's book lists Java packages alphabetically. Each package is accompanied by a list, also alphabetical, of its member classes and their purposes. In later sections all the individual classes are listed alphabetically. A typical class's entry includes its inheritance structure and a table of all its properties and methods. The author concludes with useful commentaries on topical Java issues (such as operator precedence and the differences between Java 1.1 and Java 1.2) and a cross-reference that reveals relationships between classes. -- David Wall

Product Description
Thousands of expert Java developers rely on The Java Developers Almanac for the fast answers they need to save time -- and the authoritative guidance they need to build great applications. Together, the Part A and Part B volumes are twice as big as the previous edition, The Java Developers Almanac Version 1.4 offers up-to-the-minute, thorough quick-reference information for every major version of the core Java Class Libraries, from JDKs 1.0/1.1 through the brand-new J2SE Version 1.4. You'll find updated coverage of 2,100 classes and 24,000 members -- all formatted, organized, and cross-referenced for easy lookup. No other quick ref includes as much information. The book is now printed in 2-color -- so it's even easier to find what you're looking for. The Java Developers Almanac Version 1.4 presents detailed analyses of API changes for each release, and 300+ "examplets " succinctly demonstrating each package's key operations. This, Part A, and its companion Part B, are logically divided in a way programmers will understand. Both volumes are essential resources for every Java developer.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: The Java(TM) Developers Almanac: 1998 (Paperback)
Given the large size of the current class libraries in Java, the quality of your references is now more critical than ever. In my work as a technical editor of Java books, I have found this book invaluable. The content consists almost entirely of the class names, what they are derived from and the interfaces. The remainder is a collection of "examplets", small snippets of code that show how some of the methods are used. Alphabetized based on the class names, it is adequate when your only interest is in the name of a class or the characteristics of a method. Of course, it is only my first avenue, for more detailed information it is necessary to consult another resource. However, in many of those instances, consulting this book first saved time in examining the other documentation. Covering versions, 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 of the JDK, this is one shelf reference that you should not be without. I listed it as one of the best books of the year in my On Books column that appeared in the September,1999 issue of Journal of Object-Oriented Programming.
