There's no better way to learn Java than by example...
If you're an experienced programmer, Java by Example is the quickest way to learn Java. By reviewing example code written by experts, you'll learn the right way to develop Java applets and applications that are elegant, readable, and easy to maintain.
Step-by-step, working from examples, you'll learn valuable techniques for managing memory, I/O, multithreading, exception handling, and interfacing with C programs.
The second edition adds extensive coverage of remote methods invocation (RMI), networking, and database access using the new Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API.
Java by Example teaches what you need to know, the way you want to learn: from real, working code. End-to-end coverage includes...
* Memory and constructors
* Input/output
* Threads
* Exception handling
* Threads in applets
* Forms and components
* Animation
* Native Methods
* Remote Methods Invocation (RMI)
* Networking
* JDBC
* And much more...
The accompanying CD-ROM gives you all the book's sample code, plus the Java Development Kit for Solaris, Windows 95, Windows NT, and Macintosh, and Java Workshop from Sun Microsystems (30-Day Free Trial).
