About this title

Synopsis

The Java Language Reference is an indispensable tool for Java programmers. Part of O'Reilly's new Java documentation series, this book details every aspect of the Java programming language, from the definition of data types to the syntax of expressions and control structures. Using numerous examples to illustrate various fine points of the language, this book helps you understand all of the subtle nuances of Java so you can ensure that your programs run exactly as expected. This edition describes Version 1.0.2 of the Java language. It includes:

A complete reference describing all aspects of the Java language
Syntax for all Java statements, presented using easy-to-understand railroad diagrams
A detailed look into Java's style of object-oriented programming
A chapter explaining exception handling in Java
An examination of multithreaded programming with Java
Reference material on classes in the java.lang package
Notes highlighting the differences between Java features and similar features in C and C++

Reviews

O'Reilly books have a reputation among programmers for providing some of the best technical information for professionals. No exception, these three web-related books will only enhance O'Reilly's reputation. JavaScript is not Java, but it is very useful because JavaScript code does not need to be compiled and the scripts can be embedded directly into an HTML document. Flanagan's work is an excellent book for programmers interested in learning it quickly. Grand, meanwhile, provides an exceptionally clear discussion of Java itself that is particularly useful for a working programmer moving from C++ to Java. Threads are what makes Java a particularly useful language for multiprocessing?the ability to appear to do more than one thing at a time?which is what the Internet is all about. The tricky part of threads is that the concept is new for most users. Oaks offers a very clear discussion of how to spawn a process, when to spawn, and how to synchronize and schedule it, all illustrated with good network examples.
