Chapter 1
How to get started with Java
If you're completely new to Java, chapter 1 gets you started
right by showing you how to install Java on your system, how
to use third-party tools like TextPad to work with Java, and
how to compile and run Java programs. By the end, you'll be
ready to start writing your own Java programs.
Chapter 2
Introduction to Java programming
To find out how quickly and easily you can learn Java from
this book, download and read chapter 2. Whether you're a programming
novice or have years of programming experience, you'll be
writing complete Java programs by the end of this chapter.
Chapter 3 excerpt
How the BigDecimal class helps Java get its arithmetic right
When you work with Java double values (that is, floating-point numbers) in business applications, you may run into problems when you round the results. That's because floating-point numbers can't represent all decimal numbers with complete accuracy. To get around this problem, Java provides the BigDecimal class. This excerpt from chapter 3 shows you how to use it.
What's in All Book Files?
This file contains (1) the Java source code, class files,
and data for selected applications that are presented in the
book, and (2) the starting source code and data for the exercises
in the book. Appendix A in the book describes how to install
and use these files.
What's in Student Materials?
This file contains (1) a student workbook in PDF format with
learning aids like chapter objectives, self-study questions,
and projects, and (2) the files and databases you need to
do the projects. Although these materials are designed primarily
for students or trainees who are using this book for a class,
they can also be used for self-study.
Eclipse, NetBeans, and BlueJ materials
These materials make it easier for you to use an IDE
with our Java book:
- The basic tutorials teach you the
operation of each IDE.
- The GUI tutorials teach you how
to use the Matisse GUI builder with Eclipse or NetBeans.
- The
zip files provide the book applications and exercise
starts in a format that will run under Eclipse or NetBeans. Note that there are separate downloads for Matisse versions of the GUI applications in chapters 15-18. (For BlueJ, the applications and exercise starts in All Book Files will work as is.)
