The book is divided into three parts:

• Part One covers the elements of the Java language and the fundamentals of programming. An introduction to object-oriented design is also included.
• Part Two introduces GUI (Graphical User Interface) programming using Swing.
• Part Three explores key aspects of Java's API (Application Programming Interface) library, including the Collections Framework and the concurrency API.
