tailieunhanh - Java Collections

This book is about Java's support for dealing with groups of data. Prior to the Java 2 release, the only standard support for data structures and algorithms was a few fairly basic options available through arrays, hash tables, and vectors. Many people either created their own standard data structure library or reused one of several libraries introduced to deal with collections like the Generic Collection Library for Java (JGL) from ObjectSpace. | Java Collections John Zukowski Copyright © 2001 by John Zukowski All rights reserved.

Acknowledgments Writing this book has been an interesting experience. So much has changed from when I started until now, it's almost hard to believe. No more "Focus on Java" at , no more employment by jGuru (though I still consult for them), and I'm now off on my own with JZ Ventures, Inc. If you're in need of strategic Java consulting. As always, it's time to thank everyone who helped take my horrible writing and awful drawings into the book .
