Java Programming Language, The (4th Edition)

Direct from the creators of the Java� programming language, the completely revised fourth edition of The Java� Programming Language is an indispensable resource for novice and advanced programmers alike.

Developers
around the world have used previous editions to quickly gain a deep
understanding of the Java programming language, its design goals, and
how to use it most effectively in real-world development. Now, Ken
Arnold, James Gosling, and David Holmes have updated this classic to
reflect the major enhancements in Java� 2 Standard Edition 5.0 (J2SE�
5.0).

The authors systematically cover most classes in Java�s main packages, java.lang.*, java.util, and java.io,
presenting in-depth explanations of why these classes work as they do,
with informative examples. Several new chapters and major sections have
been added, and every chapter has been updated to reflect today�s best
practices for building robust, efficient, and maintainable Java
software.

Key changes in this edition include

• New chapters on generics, enums, and annotations, the most powerful new language features introduced in J2SE 5.0
• Changes to classes and methods throughout to reflect the addition of generics
• Major new sections on assertions and regular expressions
• Coverage
  of all the new language features, from autoboxing and variable argument
  methods to the enhanced for-loop and covariant return types
• Coverage of key new classes, such as Formatter and Scanner
