There's much excitementat Vulture Central at the news that this week's featured title from El Reg affiliate www.it-minds.com comes with a personal recommendation from James Gosling (Fellow and Vice President, Sun Microsystems Inc, and inventor of the Java programming language).

Remarkable. This is what the guru had to say about The Java Developer's Almanac:

"I love this book. Its dense condensation of the details a developer needs makes it the one book I pull out over and over again."
