Market_Desc: · Programmers· Professors· Students Special Features: · Each text is packaged with the Sun's JDK software· A Common Errors section in each chapter that helps you avoid programming pitfalls· A programming style guide that you can modify to fit your own criteria· A library of Java code available from the author's website from which you can easily derive your own Java applets· An appendix that helps you make the transition from Java to ANSI C++ About The Book: This unique book teaches you the fundamental concepts of good computer programming while introducing you to one of the most powerful languages in use today-Java! Java is a powerful and complicated language-trying to learn all of Java while mastering the concepts of object-oriented programming can easily overwhelm you. But this book gives you an ideal balance between programming concepts and the details of Java. Rather than exhaustively cover the entire language, the author focuses on a subset of Java - a lean and practical core that is manageable, yet detailed enough to create powerful Java applets.This book is revised to include many of the graphical features of Java which had not yet been created in the first edition, additional coverage on the topics of graphical user interface, and event handling. It also introduces classes early to use the Java library so readers can immediately master the design of classes and the process of sub classing.
