Professional Effective Enterprise Java

Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it. -;George Santayana These are heady days for Java programmers. Commercially available for less than a decade, Java has nevertheless emerged as the language of choice for enterprise systems on nearly all major computing platforms. Companies and individuals with challenging programming problems increasingly embrace the language and platform, and the question faced by those who do not use Java is often when they will start, not if . The breadth and scope of the specifications and libraries defined by and under the Java 2 Enterprise Edition Specification-;which both dwarfs and subsumes that of the Java language itself-;makes it possible to write rich, complex systems without sacrificing performance or implementing common algorithms or data structures from scratch. The Java language and virtual machines grow ever more powerful. Tools and environments for Java development grow ever more abundant and robust. Commercial libraries all but obviate the need to write code in many application areas. Scott Meyers wrote much the same in his opening to More Effective C++ Meyers97 almost a decade ago. It seems a fitting tribute to use that paragraph, suitably modified, as the opening in this book. As a matter of fact, the two paragraphs are deliberately side-by-side similar. In many ways, we now find ourselves in a part of the Golden Age of Java, looking out over a landscape that stretches from horizon to horizon, with ample space and established borders that seem to have no limit.
