Synopsis

DESCRIPTION

The Java community has always been dynamic and fast-moving, with

constant innovation on the core platform as well as a vibrant

community ecosystem. New JVM-based languages like Groovy, Scala,

and Clojure are redefining what it means to be a Java developer. The

core Standard and Enterprise APIs now co-exist with a large and

growing body of open source technologies. Multicore processors,

concurrency, and massive data stores require new patterns and

approaches to development. And with Java 7 due to release in 2011,

there's still more to absorb.

The Well-Grounded Java Developer
is a unique guide written for

developers with a solid grasp of Java fundamentals. It provides a fresh,

practical look at new Java 7 features along with the array of ancillary

technologies that a working developer will use in building the next

generation of business software.
