❂ Java for Dummies (6th Edition) ❂
by Barry A. Burd (Author)
As an unstoppably platform-independent, object-oriented programming language, Java is used for developing web and mobile applications. In this up-to-date bestselling book, veteran author Barry Burd shows you how to create basic Java objects and clearly explains when you should simply reuse existing code.
Explores how the new version of Java offers more robust functionality and new features such as closures to keep Java competitive with more syntax-friendly languages like Python and Ruby
Covers object-oriented programming basics with Java, code reuse, the essentials of creating a Java program using the new JDK 7, creating basic Java objects, and new Eclipse features
Features a companion website that offers all code from the book and bonus chapters
This book is a great beginner's guide to Java programming. I've been wanting to take a Java class for a while, but life has gotten in the way. This book has given me a much better start than I would've been able to get on my own. I work in application support, and as our team has started supporting more and more Java apps, it was critical that I gain knowledge in Java to do my job properly. I still a fairly slow at supporting the code we support, but I now have much more confidence that I can dig in and find issues in the code.
