I've been reading Joshua Bloch's "Effective Java, Second Edition". I'm at
the generics chapter and it's great so far. I have learned way more from
this book than I did from any other. Some of the other books I have read
taught me the basics, but this is more showing me why than how. The how is
usually the easiest part :-)

I have done a little bit with anonymous classes in Swing, but that's about
it.

You just do:

Just saves from have to do the generics each time you create a new List.


I didn't know you could do that. I thought the compiler would complain
fiercely.

(only recently started with Java 5 syntax, so stuff is new, and generics
is a pain to get right :)


When you get further, you will have anonymous classes waiting for you.
Those are really nifty for putting code away from where stuff happens :)
