about the technology
Easy to use and platform-independent, Java is the programming language behind millions of networked applications, with an estimated 3 billion devices currently running Java apps. Stable, robust, and ubiquitous, Java has been the trusted solution for large-scale enterprise applications since its inception more than twenty years ago. It’s also the tool of choice for Android apps, web servers, games, and embedded programs for small devices.
about the book
Get Programming with Java teaches you to write programs in the Java language, starting from the most basic building blocks. In her relatable and personable style, author Peggy Fisher begins by helping you set up a Java programming environment on your computer. Once you’re up and running, you’ll start working with the foundations of Java and object-oriented programming, including classes and objects. Always practical and clear, this carefully-designed tutorial swaps the usual heavy-handed theory for concrete examples and easy-to-follow scenarios.
And you’ll use everything you learn immediately! Quick, concise lessons and “try this” exercises give you practical, hands-on experience with inheritance, file processing, collections, design patterns, and other vital Java principles.
