Reseña del editor

On to Java, Third Edition offers a clear and concise introduction to the Java programming language. In this third edition, the authors increase coverage of advanced material, explaining how to ensure good programming practice using interfaces, build complex systems using the model-view approach to system design, add sophistication to graphical interfaces with complex tables, define new layout managers for special situations, increase program flexibility using factories, package applications into JAR files, enable program interaction via remote method invocation and create network services using servlets. Written in the same style as the C, C++, and Smalltalk books of the On to series, this carefully designed tutorial is ideal for programmers who need to learn the Java language. To illuminate the key concepts of Java, the authors add various capabilities to a short, yet representative Java program, which demonstrates how Java is used for building both stand-alone programs and Web applets.

Contraportada

Learn the exciting language of the World Wide Web

On To Java provides you with the knowledge that you need to learn the Java programming language and improve your programming practices. It is written in the clear and concise style that makes all Winston's books popular with programmers.

The knowledge you need

Each chapter responds to a question you naturally ask when you want to learn a new language: What's special about the language? How do I define a method? How do I implement a loop? How do I open a file? How do I build a graphical user interface? What are the idioms of the language? How do I program effectively?

You learn the answers from a to-the-point, slidelike presentation. First, you learn answers that enable you to write complete, functional programs immediately. Then, you learn how to improve and extend those programs as you learn to design class hierarchies, practice data and procedure abstraction with getters and setters, impose requirements using interfaces, follow the model-view approach to system design, access applets from network viewers, use threads to implement dynamic applets, access files via resources, construct graphical user interfaces using swing classes, and much, much more.

Winston's proven approach

• Based on extensive teaching experience
• Explains ideas in fast-paced, concept-centered unit
• Illustrates ideas via short, yet complete programs
• Answers your natural questions in a natural order
• Stresses principles of good-programming practice
• Reinforces key concepts with targeted exercises
• Recapitulates key points as if-then rules
