Book Review: Java Generics and Collections

Over on the EGJUG website, islam_mahgoub has kindly written a very positive review of Java Generics and Collections by Maurice Naftalin and Philip Wadler. If you have read the book, we would love to hear your comments:

"This book was recommended to me by a friend, really it’s a great recommendation, I have found answers to the most of my questions concerning Java Generics and Collection framework.
The book consists of two parts: the first part talks about Java Generics, it gives a quick and professional start, and then it starts to go into details gradually showing you what are going behind the scenes and this lets you use Java Generics in a professional way. The second part of the book talks about the Java new framework of Collections; that make use of the Generics feature. This part of the book starts with an overview of the Framework and then goes into detail at each of the main interfaces and the standard implementations of them. This part will provide you with a strong and deep understanding of the collections framework."
