  Targeted at intermediate-to-advanced developers, this is the definitive tutorial introduction and reference to the Java SE7 language and its essential libraries. Co-authored by father of Java James Gosling and two respected leaders of the global Java community, this book brings together exclusive insights and best practices for doing more with Java, and writing more robust, efficient, and maintainable software. Developers worldwide have used previous editions to quickly gain a deep understanding of the Java programming language, its design goals, and its most effective use in real-world development. Now, every chapter has been updated to reflect best practices for Java SE7 coding, and several entirely new sections have been added. The Java Programming Language, Fifth Edition systematically covers most classes in Java's main packages, java.lang.*, java.util, and java.io, presenting in-depth explanations of why these classes work as they do, along with exceptionally instructive examples. The authors help experienced programmers gain unprecedented mastery over features and techniques ranging from anonymous inner classes and reflection to I/O, threading, and collections. The authors present exceptionally clear and practical explanations drawn from their immense experience pioneering the Java platform, and illustrate many of these examples using simple mathematical problems.

This book will give you a solid foundation in Java programming language strategies and techniques. It features a concise introduction to the language; detailed descriptions of Java's commands, constructs, and libraries; and numerous real-world examples that show you how to exploit the language's power, portability, and flexibility. You will find in-depth and progressively advanced coverage of classes and objects, interfaces, exception-handling, threads and multitasking, and packages. In addition, the book describes the Java core library packages, including I/O, standard utilities, language types, and system classes. Thoroughly revised from start to finish, this second edition fully integrates Java 1.1 into both text and examples. This edition includes the changes introduced in Java 1.1 , such as nested classes (including anonymous classes), threading issues, character-based streams, object-serialization, documentation comments, new utility classes, plus internationalization and localization. The book lets you in on the rationale behind Java's design, direct from the language's creator, as well as the tradeoffs involved in using specific features. With these insights, you will have the understanding you need to begin developing Java applications and applets. 0201310066B04062001
