摘要

Changes occur rapidly in computer science. Take Java, for example. Could the writer James Gosling and his colleagues have guessed in 1994 that millions of people would be programming in their language? Java is now used in settings from the Mars Lander to the military, and has been embraced as the solution to all programming problems. True or false, no one yet knows. Meanwhile, hundreds of universities have set up programming courses using Java. Hence the flood of Java books.
