references as well ?
The following words might be coming
out of some Scottish genes inside me:
Sign up for a Java project within
your University !
I did the same with a
C based workstation project about 7 years ago and got access to the
Complete SunOS 4.x API - at that time realized
in C - so that I didn't have to buy kilograms of
books/papers.
>The Java Developers Almanac seems good cos it
seems to give a lot of examples.
If you really like the
book - buy it ( In the past I did the same with
"Kernighan&Ritchie" with a lot of examples and haven't regret it by now
)
