| SYNOPSIS |
A painless guide to Java and object-oriented programming
Learning Java isn't a chore, it's a pleasure--when Peter van der Linden teaches it to you. In Just Java, the author of the classic Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets brings his trademark enthusiasm, straight talk, and expertise to the challenge of learning Java and object-oriented programming.
In this updated second edition, you'll find all the fundamentals of Java programming, including Java object-oriented techniques, types, statements, arrays, string processing, and more sophisticated techniques like networking, threads, and the window toolkit.
You'll also discover more examples than ever, along with updated coverage of future Java APIs--including the new Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) API. Peter van der Linden presents this complex material with unique humor and insight. Just Java is practical, understandable, and fun.
Includes practical examples and explanations of:
* Applications versus Applets
* Identifiers, Comments, Keywords, and Operators
* Arrays, Exceptions, and Threads
* Java Networking, Windowing, and the new JDBC API
Nobody teaches Java like Peter van der Linden!
* The Story of O: Object-Oriented Programming
* The Robot Ping-Pong Player
* GIGO: Garbage In, Gospel Out
* Associativity and the Coffeepot Property
The CD-ROM has practical examples and source code for interesting applications plus the JDK for Solaris, Windows 95, Windows NT, and Macintosh, and Java WorkShop for Windows 95 and Solaris (30-Day Free Trial).
