Java Programming Today Barbara Johnston

This book for today"s beginning programmers presents the Java language and object-oriented concepts without overwhelming computer science terminology, but covers many complex topics that are required for the Java programmer. It is written in “plainEnglish,” with a wide variety of sample programs; and includes such practical information as instructions for setting up the Java™ 2 Software Development Kit from Sun Microsystems, and compiling, running, and debugging code. Packaged with a CD-ROM that includes all of the software beginning users will need to learn Java, the book is clear and easy-to-read, with excellent visuals. It has a large variety of fun ways to run program examples along with easy-to-understand figures, tables, and appendices. Presenting first an overview of the language, it introduces Java fundamentals, including keywords, operators, primitive data types, Strings, and arithmetic. It then proceeds through class hierarchy concepts, introducing the JApplet and JFrame classes, and presents control statements, loop, and arrays. Object-oriented concepts, writing classes and methods, static methods, interfaces and specific listeners are discussed; and advanced topics, such as Java I/O, Java Archive files, and package and classpaths, round out the book. For programming professionals and software developers who need to learn Java, as well as those just starting out in the field. Because of its summary tables, glossary, margin glossary, comprehensive appendices, and figures, this book is an excellent Java language usage reference.
