From the Back Cover

There is simply no better way to learn Java than to have the pineal gland of an expert Java programmer surgically implanted in your brain. Sadly, most HMOs refuse to pay for this career saving procedure, deeming Java to be too experimental. At last there is an alternative treatment for those of us who cannot wait for sweeping health care reforms.

Mr. Bunny's Big Cup O' Java is recommended by n out of ten doctors, where n is any integer you wish to make up to impress an astoundingly gullible public.

The book begins with an overview of the book, and quickly expands into the book itself. Just look at the topics covered:

• Mr. Bunny's rucksack
• Farmer Jake's overalls
• Java

In short, MBBCOJ will teach you all you need to know for a successful career in today's rabbit development environments.

"I sincerely hope this book increases the donor pool."

Foreword

It happened again: I got bored and decided to write another technical book. This time the technology is Java.

Java is such a hot topic that I felt certain the book would write itself. So I turned on my computer, fired up the word processor, and left it alone to do the job. Ever willing to struggle for my art, I headed to the Cayman Islands. Since I've been banned from the beach (for constructing an elaborate series of sand castles--the authorities objected to my use of steel-reinforced concrete), it was necessary to employ one of my favorite disguises. And so I returned home well rested after two weeks in the sun dressed as an immense pineapple.

Imagine my disappointment when I found a family of squirrels had invaded the house and built a nest on my keyboard. My new book on Java comprised page after page of gibberish.

What the heck, I thought. My editor will understand.

He didn't.

There was only one thing to do: I needed to clean the twigs out of my keyboard and learn how to use a spelling checker. I worked day and night--sustained by a deep sense of purpose and the occasional nut offered by one of the thoughtful squirrels--finding the nearest match for each and every garbled word. This book is the result of that marathon spell check session.

Now it's back to the islands (and the pineapple costume) to read the book and learn what I can of Java before the inevitable question of my integrity arises. No need to thank me--it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make to bring the world a rabbit's eye view of technology.

The squirrels, of course, are at home writing the sequel.
