| MURACH'S JAVA PROGRAMMING, 4TH EDITION TRAINING & REFERENCE |
That's what one developer wrote us about an earlier edition of our core java book. now, you can expect that same practical, time-saving approach in the current edition that covers the latest release of java standard edition, java se 7 (or jdk 1.7).
and to make training even easier for you, this book now shows you how to develop java programs using netbeans, a popular, professional ide that will boost your productivity at every step.
what to expect from this book
get a quick start: you'll be writing your first complete java applications at the end of chapter 2!
build realistic applications: by the end of chapter 5, you'll know how to use java classes, objects, and methods to write bulletproof applications that use custom methods to validate user input. that gets you off to a fast start in java whether you're a beginner or have years of programming experience.
save work with netbeans: starting from chapter 1, you'll take advantage of the time-saving features that an ide provides as you use netbeans to create, compile, run, test, and debug java applications.
oop made clear: section 2, on object-oriented programming, cuts through the mystery of inheritance, polymorphism, and the factory pattern so you can learn how to create and use sophisticated business and data access classes. at that point, you'll know how to develop real-world, object-oriented, business applications.
expand your core java skills: in section 3, you'll learn more of the core java features that you'll use all the time, like how to work with arrays, dates, strings, exceptions, enhanced for loops, try-with-resources, and more! because each chapter in this section is independent of the others, you can add these skills to your resume whenever you need them.
create user-friendly guis: section 4 shows you how to use the popular swing gui builder that comes with netbeans to develop gui applications. here, you'll learn how to handle events, validate data, and populate objects to create applications that aren't just useful, but easy-to-use as well.
handle stored data the professional way: to complete your oop training, section 5 shows you how to write data access classes that store the data for objects in a file or database. here, then, you'll learn how to: work with text, binary, and xml files; embed an apache derby database in an application; and use jdbc to work with any database.
raise your skills to a new level: section 6 shows you how to work with threads and how to deploy your finished applications using executable jar files or java web start.
3 reasons why you'll learn faster and better with our book
like all our books, this one has features that you won't find in competing books, even though they accelerate and improve training. here are just 3 of those features.
this book presents complete, business-level applications, like the one in chapter 16: a product maintenance application with a graphical user interface that uses presentation classes, business classes, and database classes. applications like this are the missing ingredient in most java books, but it's impossible to master java development without them.
all of the information is presented in our paired-pages format, with the essential syntax, guidelines, and examples on the right page and the perspective and extra explanation on the left. this makes the book faster to use both for training and for reference later on. (if you haven't used one of our books before, download a free chapter to see for yourself how well our paired pages work.)
the chapter exercises give you a chance to try out what you've just learned and to gain valuable, hands-on experience in java programming. and because you can download the starting code and data, you don't have to start each exercise from scratch. that gives you the maximum amount of practice in a minimum of time.
who this book is for
this book is for anyone who wants to learn the core features of the java language:
it works if you're new to programming.
it works if you have programming experience with another language.
it works if you already know an older version of java and you want to get up-to-speed with java se 7.
it works if you've already read 3 or 4 other java books and still don't know how to develop a real-world application.
if you're new to programming, the prerequisites are minimal. you just need to be familiar with the operation of the platform that you're using. that means you should know how to perform tasks like opening, saving, printing, closing, copying, and deleting files.
what if you have the previous edition of this book,
murach's java se 6?
the big news in this edition is that it now teaches java programming using the netbeans ide. today, no professional programmer should miss out on the time-saving features of an ide, and netbeans is a popular choice that's free, easy-to-use, and powerful. and because netbeans works on the windows, mac, and unix/linux operating systems, this book is less windows-centric than previous editions have been.
in terms of the java language itself, there aren't a lot of significant changes in java se 7. one that's generating a lot of interest is the try-with-resources statement that's covered in chapter 14 on handling exceptions. in addition, there are new chapters on debugging and deployment, and the gui section now features the use of the netbeans swing gui builder.
so for learning features like those, you'll definitely profit from getting a copy of the new edition. and if you need an se 7 reference close at hand, this book will easily pay for itself many times over.
