About this title

Review

Java Now!, which teaches both Java fundamentals and general programming concepts, is a great book for beginners who may not know much about programming but still want to learn Java. It is divided into 29 ten-minute lessons, the first of which has instructions for downloading the JavaSoft Java Development Kit (JDK) from the Internet. Each chapter includes a listing of the concepts it will cover, the main lesson, and a final summary. The first ten chapters cover applet creation and introduce programming basics such as variables, operators, conditionals, loops, and functions. The next ten chapters discuss Java classes, simple graphics, and mouse and keyboard operations. The third ten-chapter section includes topics such as exception handling, inheritance, abstract classes, interfaces, dialog-box operations, and using threading to create animation. This book starts you at the beginning and lays a solid foundation for further progress.
