Beginning Java 2 by Ivor Horton
ISBN:1861002238
“Java 2 from scratch to a large GUI example program using Java
Foundation Classes.”
This is the second edition of Ivor Horton’s best-selling
Beginning Java (1861000278). It has been fully revised for the Java
2 platform and now covers the Java Foundation Classes (Swing and
Java2D) and the Collections API.
There are no substantial changes to the language – instead
JavaSoft have focused on extending class library support for common
programming tasks.
Assuming no knowledge of Java, and making only basic assumptions
of prior programming experience, Ivor teaches the Java language
from scratch and then shows you how to use some of the
comprehensive packages that make up the Java platform. A key part
of this is the iterative development of a large graphical example
over several chapters.
This is the self-study guide for Java. Its structured tutorial
approach means that each chapter and each section within a chapter
builds on those that have gone before. Theory is accompanied by a
fully working example, and an explanation of how it works.”
