Description
In Beyond Java, Bruce Tate, author of the Jolt Award-winning Better, Faster, Lighter Java, chronicles the rise of the most successful language of all time, and then lays out, in painstaking detail, the compromises the founders had to make to establish success. If you are agree with the book's premise--that Java's reign is coming to an end--then this book will help you start to build your skills accordingly. Beyond Java will teach you what a new language needs to succeed, so when things do change, you'll be more prepared. And even if you think Java is here to stay, you can use the best techniques from frameworks introduced in this book to improve what you're doing in Java today.
