Programming in Java

Programming in Java, revised 2nd edition, is primarily designed for the students of computer science, information technology and computer applications. This edition has been updated to provide greater topical coverage as well as to incorporate Java 8 enhancements.
Starting with the basics of object-oriented concepts, the book gradually moves on to discuss all the essentials of Java. The topics covered include interfaces, packages, enumeration, exception handling, assertions, multithreading, generics, applets, event handling, AWT and swings. In addition, the last chapter provides a glimpse of advanced topics such as JDBC, servlets, JSP, Java beans and EJB.

New to the Revised Second Edition:
• Java 8 enhancements – appendices on functional programming, lambdas, method references and static and default methods in interfaces
• Enhanced coverage of core concepts – appendices on this reference, stacks and heaps, pointer versus reference variables and regular expressions
• Java 9 – the Online Resource Centre provides a prelude to the latest version of Java

Key Features
• Provides a quick recap of object-oriented programming concepts before getting started with Java
• Includes plenty of user-friendly programs with line-by-line explanations and comments to encourage self-study
• Includes key notes wherever required
• Contains a variety of chapter-end exercises to reinforce the concepts learnt
