For answers to your own questions, meet book collaborators Maurice Naftalin and Stuart Marks at the #Devoxx Oracle booth on Thursday at 16:00. (Good questions may get a reward. 😉) 2/2 #Java

"I need an array of a generic type. Why won't the compiler let me create one?" "How do I find the intersection of two Sets?" These and all other questions about generics and collections are answered in the newly published 2nd edition of Java Generics and Collections. 1/2

I bought & started reading "Java Generics and Collections 2nd Edition" by @mauricenaftalin.bsky.social, Philip Wadler, with @smarks.bsky.social. I'm really enjoying it so far! It's like finding 18 missing & useful chapters about Java Generics & Collections that I didn't have to write in my book! ❤️🙏

Java just turned 30 🎉 but some old quirks remain! Why does type inference trip up? Where’s true immutability? Can we fix set equality and iterators? Dive into language puzzles, real solutions, and design debates at #Devoxx! View talk @ devoxx.be/talk?id=23159

☕️🎙️"From Punch Cards (and Tapes) to Java" an airhacks.fm conversation with @mauricenaftalin.bsky.social about punch cards, science and Java is ready to listen 👉 adambien.blog/roller/from_... #airhacks #podcast #java

The decluttering enters a new phase. This bookshelf is filled with books from the 1990s and 2000s, all now headed for the recycling bin. I wish I could say I got value from even a fraction of them! @heinzkabutz.com
