Bruce Tate, author of the Jolt Award-winning "Better, Faster,
Lighter Java" has an intriguing notion about the future of Java,
and it's causing some agitation among Java developers. Bruce
believes Java is abandoning its base, and conditions are ripe for
an alternative to emerge.
In "Beyond Java," Bruce chronicles the rise of the most
successful language of all time, and then lays out, in painstaking
detail, the compromises the founders had to make to establish
success. Then, he describes the characteristics of likely
successors to Java. He builds to a rapid and heady climax,
presenting alternative languages and frameworks with productivity
and innovation unmatched in Java. He closes with an evaluation of
the most popular and important programming languages, and their
future role in a world beyond Java.
If you are agree with the book's premise--that Java's reign is
coming to an end--then this book will help you start to build your
skills accordingly. You can download some of the frameworks
discussed and learn a few new languages. This book will teach you
what a new language needs to succeed, so when things do change,
you'll be more prepared. And even if you think Java is here to
stay, you can use the best techniques from frameworks introduced in
this book to improve what you're doing in Java today.
