Book

Java in easy steps / Mike McGrath.

McGrath, Mike, 1956- (Author).

Summary:

"Equally useful for newcomers with no previous knowledge of programming languages, hobbyists looking to explore Java's possibilities, and experienced programmers who wish to add Java to their skill set, Java In Easy Steps begins by explaining how to download and install the free Java Development Kit (JDK) so that the reader can quickly begin to create executable programs by copying the examples. Written in the clear, jargon-free style that has made the series successful, this book progressively builds knowledge of Java, so that by the end, readers will have gained a sound understanding of the Java language and be able to write their own Java programs and compile them into executable files that can be run on any Java-enabled computer. Every page is packed with confidence-building visual guides so that what readers see on their screens is exactly what appears in the book."--Publisher's description.
