This comprehensive guide shows you how to master the most important
changes to Java since it was first released. Generics and the
greatly expanded collection libraries have tremendously increased
the power of Java 5 and Java 6. But they have also confused many
developers who haven't known how to take advantage of these new
features. "Java Generics and Collections" covers everything from
the most basic uses of generics to the strangest corner cases. It
teaches you everything you need to know about the collections
libraries, so you'll always know which collection is appropriate
for any given task, and how to use it. Topics covered include:
Fundamentals of generics: type parameters and generic methods;
Other new features: boxing and unboxing, foreach loops, varargs;
Subtyping and wildcards; Evolution not revolution: generic
libraries with legacy clients and generic clients with legacy
libraries; Generics and reflection; Design patterns for generics;
Sets, Queues, Lists, Maps, and their implementations; Concurrent
programming and thread safety with collections; ane Performance
implications of different collections. Generics and the new
collection libraries they inspired take Java to a new level. If you
want to take your software development practice to a new level,
this book is essential reading.
