If you're an experienced programmer, you already have a
rock-solid foundation for learning Java. All you need is a
resource that takes your experience into account and
explains Java's key principles and techniques in an
intelligent, efficient way.
Java: Practical Guide for Programmers is precisely that
resource. Here, you won't have to wade through hundreds of
pages of overly simplistic material to learn the basics of
Java programming. Instead, you get highly focused
instruction in the core elements of Java 1.4, accompanied
by carefully chosen examples and line-by-line analyses that
are right to the point. You'll be astonished at how soon
you can begin productive coding in Java, and how quickly
your skills will progress.
Written expressly for people who already know a
procedural or object-oriented programming language. Takes a
concise approach designed to make the most of the
experience you already have. Covers the core elements of
Java 1.4, including language syntax, OO features,
collections, exception handling, input/output, threads,
event handling, and Swing components. Filled with incisive
coding examples and line-by-line analyses. Via a companion
Web site, provides downloadable example code and links to
additional resources.
