About the Book
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 complete member listings of every covered class; detailed analyses of API changes for each release, and 300+ "examplets™" succinctly demonstrating each package's key operations. This, Part B, and its companion Part A, are logically divided in a way programmers will understand. Both volumes are essential resources for every Java developer.
