The Essentials Of The Java Programming

Language: Compiling and Running a Simple

Program: Volume 1:


Author: Charles Hayes:


Java is a programming language originally

developed by Sun Microsystems and released

in 1995. Java applications are typically

compiled to bytecode, although compilation

to native machine code is also possible.

At runtime, bytecode is usually either

interpreted or compiled to native code

for execution, although direct hardware

execution of bytecode by a Java processor

is also possible.


If you are interested in learning the Java"

programming language but hesitate to dive into

overly dense, theoretical resources, The Essentials

of the Java" Programming Lnaguage is the perfect

starting point. This accessible, hands-on tutorial

employs a "learn-by-doing" approach to introduce you

to the basics. It starts with a simple program, then

develops it bit by bit, adding new features and

explaining important concepts with each subsequent

lesson. This simple program grows into a general

electronic commerce application that illustrates

many of the java 2 platform's most important

elements: you will learn such java programming

language essentials as:

1. The difference between applications, applets,

and servlets/JavasServer Pages"

2. Building a user interface that accepts user

input:

3. Reading and writing data to files and

databases:

4. Network communications, including RMI and

sockets:

5. Collections:

6. Serialization:

7. Packages and JAR file format:

8. Internationalization:

9. Security fundamentals, including

cryptographic software:

The Essentials of the Java" programming

Language ends with an explanation of

object-oriented programming concepts,

made far more understandable and

relevant as a result of the hands-on

experience acquired throughout the

curriculum design and instruction book.

After working through this book, you will

have the foundation necessary to comfortably

progress to more advance learning materials

for the Java programming language and utilize

the subtleties and more sophisticated capabilities

of the language:
