And my early birthday gift has arrived: Eclipse Collections Categorically by @TheDonRaab. And yes, it’s that big and in colour. Beautiful print, and it smells like a brand-new hardcover book (because it is). Pure 🤓 joy!

While I don't know how many #Java developers use #EclipseCollections, I do know that EVERY #Java developer benefits from Eclipse Collections (EC), because it is an active member of the OpenJDK Quality Outreach Program. EC reports issues it finds 👇 during its Early Access OpenJDK testing. 👍

Q: Is the Eclipse IDE required to use Eclipse Collections?
A: No. Eclipse Collections is a stand-alone Java library and one of many open source projects at the Eclipse Foundation.

I was asked again yesterday, and shared the branding section of this blog.👇🙏

I love printed books. I love buying them, reading them, lending them out to colleagues and friends, and getting them autographed. I think I will donate my personal library to a public library in my will so others can continue to enjoy many of the well-crafted words that I learned from. 🙏📘📗📕📙📚
