Learning Java: An Introduction to Real-World Programming with Java

From the Preface

This book introduces the Java programming language and environment. Whether you are a software developer or just someone who uses the internet in your daily life, you’ve undoubtedly heard about Java. Its arrival was one of the most exciting developments in the history of the web, and Java applications continue to power business on the internet. Java is, arguably, the most popular programming language in the world, used by millions of developers on almost every kind of computer imaginable. Java has surpassed languages such as C++ and Visual Basic in terms of developer demand and has become the de facto language for certain kinds of development—especially for web-based services. Most universities are now using Java in their introductory courses alongside the other important modern languages. Perhaps you’re using this text in one of your classes right now!

This book gives you a thorough grounding in Java fundamentals and grammar. Learning Java, Sixth Edition, attempts to live up to its name by mapping out the Java language and its class libraries, programming techniques, and idioms. We’ll dig deep into interesting areas and at least scratch the surface of other popular topics. Other titles from O’Reilly pick up where we leave off and provide more comprehensive information on specific areas and applications of Java.

Whenever possible, we provide compelling, realistic, and fun examples and avoid merely cataloging features. The examples are simple but hint at what can be done. We won’t be developing the next great “killer app” in these pages, but we hope to give you a starting point for many hours of experimentation and inspired tinkering that will lead you to develop one yourself.

Who Should Read This Book

This book is for computer professionals, students, technical people, and Finnish hackers. It’s for everyone who has a need for hands-on experience using Java with an eye toward building real applications. This book could also be considered a crash course in object-oriented programming, threads, and user interfaces. As you learn about Java, you’ll also learn a powerful and practical approach to software development, beginning with a deep understanding of the fundamentals of Java.

Superficially, Java looks like C or C++, so you’ll have a tiny head start in using this book if you have some experience with one of these languages. If you do not, don’t worry. In many respects, Java acts like more dynamic languages such as Smalltalk and Lisp. Knowledge of another object-oriented programming language will certainly help, although you may have to change some ideas and unlearn a few habits. Java is considerably simpler than languages such as C++ and Smalltalk. If you learn well from concise examples and personal experimentation, you’ll like this book.
