Философия Java. Библиотека программиста.

Java cannot be understood by looking at it only as a collection of some characteristics - it is necessary to understand the tasks of this language as specific tasks of programming as a whole.

This book is about programming problems: why they became problems and what approach uses Java in their solution. Therefore, the features of the language discussed in each chapter are inextricably linked with how they are used to solve certain problems.

This book, which went through several reprints in the original, is considered one of the best textbooks for its deep and truly philosophical presentation of the intricacies of language for Java programmers.
