From the Back Cover

"I love this book. Its dense condensation of the details a developer needs makes it the one book I pull out over and over again."

―James Gosling, Fellow and Vice President, Sun Microsystems, Inc., and inventor of the Java™ programming language

"This reminds me of the catalogs of integrated circuits that we use to build hardware systems, and shows how far and fast Java™ technology has come in having a library of incredibly useful software components. An indispensable desk reference!"

―Bill Joy, co-founder, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

"I think this book is, quite simply, a stroke genius. I've been lamenting the stack of books on Java™ technology I've had to pore over when all I needed was a detail about some method or package. The Almanac is the one-stop shop I was unconsciously waiting for."

―John Vlissides, IBM TJ Watson, and co-author of the best-selling book Design Patterns
Quoted from his keynote at JavaOne^SM

The Java™ Developers Almanac 2000 is the most up-to-date and complete quick reference for the Java Class Libraries―JDK™1.0, 1.1, and J2SE™ v1.2, v1.3. (Due to space constraints, the javax.swing.plaf. packages are not included.) No other quick reference includes as much information in a single convenient volume.
