Sono rimasto un po' male quando ho scoperto che è già uscito questo libro (il 24 di giugno):

J. Bloch, N. Gafter, "Java Puzzlers: Traps, Pitfalls, and Corner Cases", Addison-Wesley Professional (2005)

visto che, questa primavera mi è stata rifiutata una proposta identica da un editore con la motivazione: un libro di quiz bastardi? no, non si venderebbe...

A voi dice qualcosa questo elenco?

• "reveals oddities of the Java programming language through entertaining and thought-provoking programming puzzles"
• "I laughed, I cried, I threw up (my hands in admiration)"
• "dive deep into the subtleties of the Java programming language and its core libraries"
• "95 diabolical puzzles that educate and entertain. Anyone with a working knowledge of Java will understand the puzzles, but even the most seasoned veteran will find them challenging."
• "Most of the puzzles take the form of a short program whose behavior isn't what it seems. Can you figure out what it does?"

Appena rientro in Italia (fra pochissimo) lo compro e lo divoro - no, non l'editore :-)
