| Written by members of the Java Software team at Sun Microsystems, this book uses a tested, interactive approach and features real-world problems that help you learn the Java platform by example.
New to this edition are chapters on generics, collections, Java Web Start, the platform environment, and regular expressions. Key sections, including the Threads, I/O, Object-Oriented Programming Concepts, and Language Basics chapters have been rewritten to reflect reader feedback and to cover new features added to the Java SE 6 platform. A new appendix contains information on how to prepare for the Java Programming Language Certification exam.
You will find explanations of the fundamentals of objects, classes, and data structures, as well as detailed coverage of exceptions, I/O, and threads. All of the features that made this book a classic have been retained, including summaries at the end of each section and Questions & Exercises segments to help you practice what you learn.
On the accompanying CD-ROM: Resources, including the latest Java SE software (the JRE, JDK, Java API spec, and the guide documentation); The code samples from this book; Solutions to the questions & exercises. | |
