"I need an array of a generic type. Why won't the compiler let me create one?"

"How do I find the intersection of two Sets?"

These and all other questions about generics and collections are answered in the newly published 2nd edition of Java Generics and Collections. 1/2

The cover of "Java Generics and Collections: Fundamentals and Recommended Practices 2nd Edition" from O'Reilly by Maurice Naftalin, Philip Wadler with Stuart Marks on my new Kindle.

I bought & started reading "Java Generics and Collections 2nd Edition" by @mauricenaftalin.bsky.social, Philip Wadler, with @smarks.bsky.social. I'm really enjoying it so far! It's like finding 18 missing & useful chapters about Java Generics & Collections that I didn't have to write in my book! ❤️🙏

The decluttering enters a new phase. This bookshelf is filled with books from the 1990s and 2000s, all now headed for the recycling bin. I wish I could say I got value from even a fraction of them! @heinzkabutz.com
