Skilled Java programmers can use this text to expand upon their existing knowledge and learn new capabilities of the language. The book assumes that the reader is familiar with the basics of Java, or, at the very least, is an experienced programmer in a related language like C or C++. Such advanced Java application programming topics have received only sketchy coverage in most Java books because, until recently, Java has been too new and unstable to effectively deal with these topics in an in-depth manner.
This book is a guide for the experienced Java programmer who wants to take his Java skills beyond simple animation and applets. It will show the reader how to streamline his Java code, how to achieve unique results with undocumented tricks, and how to add advanced level functions to his existing Java programs. - Skilled Java professionals show how to improve garbage collection before and after compilation for improved performance
