Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

An introduction to the Java programming language explains how to build complex systems, add tables to graphical interfaces, define layout managers, increase program flexibility, and create network services.

Dalla quarta di copertina

Learn the exciting language of the World Wide Web

On To Java provides you with the knowledge that you need to learn the Java programming language and improve your programming practices. It is written in the clear and concise style that makes all Winston's books popular with programmers.

The knowledge you need

Each chapter responds to a question you naturally ask when you want to learn a new language: What's special about the language? How do I define a method? How do I implement a loop? How do I open a file? How do I build a graphical user interface? What are the idioms of the language? How do I program effectively?

You learn the answers from a to-the-point, slidelike presentation. First, you learn answers that enable you to write complete, functional programs immediately. Then, you learn how to improve and extend those programs as you learn to design class hierarchies, practice data and procedure abstraction with getters and setters, impose requirements using interfaces, follow the model-view approach to system design, access applets from network viewers, use threads to implement dynamic applets, access files via resources, construct graphical user interfaces using swing classes, and much, much more.

Winston's proven approach

• Based on extensive teaching experience
• Explains ideas in fast-paced, concept-centered unit
• Illustrates ideas via short, yet complete programs
• Answers your natural questions in a natural order
• Stresses principles of good-programming practice
• Reinforces key concepts with targeted exercises
• Recapitulates key points as if-then rules
