4.0 out of 5 stars It will look nice in your cubicle, October 9, 2002

This review is from: Java(TM) Class Libraries Poster, The (7th Edition) (Paperback)

These posters (this one and the J2EE one) contain a list of each Java package contained within either the J2SE or the J2EE. The J2SE poster contain 120 packages (more than 2600 classes) from the Standard Edition. The poster shows each package and the classes and interfaces making up the package along with their hierarchical relationship to each other and to other classes in other packages. Classes from other packages are coded to show their "home" package. Abstract and final classes are indicated. Posters containing a list of all the classes in the J2SE or the J2EE may be useful at times and may save hunting down a class in the API to determine if, for example, JarOutputStream inherits from DeflaterOutputStream or not. But that isn't the real reason you want these posters, and you know you want them! You want these posters on your wall because they look so cool. Just think how jealous your co-workers will be when they see them hanging in your office or cubicle. Think how impressed your boss will be when she realizes how much there is to know about Java. And when you're stuck on a problem and leaning back looking for inspiration you can stare at these posters and no one will think you're daydreaming.

A must have for the Java obsessed. There's nothing like taking a break from programming and looking at it. Who knows, it could help you prepare for certification by osmosis.

It gives a comprehensive overview of all the power delivered to you get with the standart JSDK. Saves a lot of time for digging and wandering around what to use and what's available. Yuo can make the choice by just a simple look. Everyone will for sure notice something he has never thought about.
