Maybe I should have mentioned that I'm currently handing on the administrative role of roster manager in my gliding club. While in role I wrote a moderately complex Roster editor, which is used to build the six duty rosters for each 6 month gliding season. It implements rules to implement checks for duty clashes (somebody who is both an instructor and a tug pilot must not get both duties on the same weekend, only one member of a glider syndicate should get a duty on any day so the others can go fly, .... though its code is fairly simple (all Swing, no multithreading, all files are CSV format and I wrote a CSV class yonks ago). I also wrote a CSV editor which is optimised for handling large files, i.e. more than 16K lines *some* spreadsheets are limited to!, and for running search & destroy passes across these files - something that is needed if a rostered member leaves the club immediately after the roster was published. That HAS happened! Anyway, my successor wants to learn Java, which is why I'm asking about Java books. -- Martin | martin at Gregorie | gregorie dot org
