Re: Java and OO Concepts

Anyone ever go through Objects First with Java, A Practical Introduction
using BlueJ? Goes at the problem from a completely different direction.
Teaches objects first with only enough Java to define the problems and has
free BlueJ environment so that you can see the objects that you create and
what they look like on the inside. www.bluej.org Current through release 6
of Java.

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
