Review title: An Amazing Concise Reference
Product review: The Java Developers ALMANAC 1999 is literally one the best "desk references" that I've every seen - period. Its "architecture" makes navigating the vast Java class library very easy. Clever use of <B>bold</B> text formatting and a terse set of symbols representing modifiers and OO concepts make this a very "dense" reference in a relatively small volume. The text is printed on a very high quality finished paper that enhances visiblity and page turning (a real plus when working under low-level task lighting at the computer display). Others have remarked about what this volume lacks but when you consider the explosion of Java this book would have to be reprinted on monthly basis to keep up. In summary, I've only been involved in learning Java for less than 3 months. This book has been my constant companion and I believe it has contributed significantly to my understanding of the JFC.
