Description
If you're an experienced programmer, you already have a rock-solid foundation for learning Java. All you need is a resource that takes
your experience into account and explains Java's key principles and techniques in an intelligent, efficient way.
Java: Practical
Guide for Programmers is precisely that resource. Here, you won't have to wade through hundreds of pages of overly simplistic material
to learn the basics of Java programming. Instead, you get highly focused instruction in the core elements of Java 1.4, accompanied by
carefully chosen examples and line-by-line analyses that are right to the point. You'll be astonished at how soon you can begin productive
coding in Java, and how quickly your skills will progress.
