Description: -- Restructured to deliver in-depth coverage of Java's most critical new features.
-- Extensive code examples help developers make the most of new Java features -- from collections to internationalization, and beyond.
-- By three legends of the Java community, including Java creator James Gosling, Jini architect Ken Arnold, and David Holmes, the "best of class" computer science Ph.D.!

The Java "TM" Programming Language, Third Edition gives every Java developer an up-to-date, authoritative view of the language as its creators intended it. Co-authored by James Gosling, Java's inventor, the book is as authoritative as ever, and even more comprehensive -- with in-depth coverage of the latest Java 2 Standard Edition Version 1.3 features and classes. As with previous editions, this book starts with a concise introduction to the language; presents detailed descriptions of Java's commands, constructs, and libraries; and delivers progressively advanced coverage of classes and objects, interfaces, exception-handling, threads and multitasking, packages, I/O, and more. Best of all, it offers a creator's eye view of the rationale behind Java's design, and its latest enhancements -- all designed to help developers make the most of Java's power, portability, and flexibility.
