Session Title: Return of the Puzzlers: Schlock and Awe
Session Abstract: Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the JavaOneSM conference . . . . After a one-year hiatus, Click and Hack, the type-it brothers, are back and badder than ever. Josh Bloch and Neal Gafter present eight more programming puzzles for your entertainment and enlightenment. The game show format keeps you on your toes, and the puzzles teach you about the subtleties of the Java™ programming language and its core libraries. Anyone with a working knowledge of the language will be able to understand the puzzles, but even the most seasoned veterans will be challenged. The lessons you take from this session will be directly applicable to your programs and designs. Some of the jokes may even be funny. If you detested Episode VI, you'll despise this talk. Come early, because overripe fruit will, as usual, be given to the first 50 attendees.
