Core Java, Volume I

This bestselling introduction to Java for experienced programmers, now fully updated for Java SE17, covers the features and key APIs in detail and with practical real-world code examples. Core Java is written for programmers with a solid background in a programming language other than Java, targeting serious programmers who want to put Java to work on real projects. The release of each new Core Java edition has followed the release of the latest JDK as quickly as possible, and each time the books have been updated to take advantage of the newest Java features. As always, Core Java features lots of sample code that demonstrates almost every language and library feature. Purposefully simple, these sample programs make good starting points for the reader to develop their own code.
