How This Book Was Written
This book is the result of an unusual, but fruitful collaboration between
David Flanagan and Brett McLaughlin. David was at work on the fifth
edition of Java in a Nutshell, but was eager to get coverage of the major
language changes in Tiger out sooner than the production schedule for
that book allowed. Brett, meanwhile, was the driving editorial force
behind this innovative new series of Developer's Notebooks, and was
eager to include a title on Tiger in the series.The process went like this:
- David researched the new features of Tiger and wrote about them for
Java in a Nutshell. He sent drafts of his new material to Brett.Brett feverishly ripped those chapters apart, rewrote almost everything,
added new examples, and reassembled everything into the
Developer's Notebook format.
The result is a book almost entirely written by Brett, based on research
done by David. The tone of the writing and the engaging style of the
book is Brett's, and readers of this book and Java in a Nutshell will be
hard-pressed to find any duplication of prose. In a few cases, Brett has
used code samples that also appear in Java in a Nutshell, and in each
case that fact is mentioned in the margin.
