Horstmann Cay S. Core Java. Volume 1. Fundamentals

10th Edition. — Prentice Hall, 2016. — 1040 p. — ISBN10: 0-13-417730-4, ISBN13: 978-0-13-417730-4.Core Java has long been recognized as the leading, no-nonsense tutorial and reference for experienced programmers who want to write robust Java code for real-world applications. Now, Core Java, Volume I — Fundamentals, Tenth Edition, has been extensively updated to reflect the most eagerly awaited and innovative version of Java in years: Java SE 8. Rewritten and reorganized to illuminate new Java SE 8 features, idioms, and best practices, it contains hundreds of example programs — all carefully crafted for easy understanding and practical applicability.Writing for serious programmers solving real-world problems, Cay Horstmann helps you achieve a deep understanding of the Java language and library. In this first volume of the two-volume work, Horstmann focuses on fundamental language concepts and the foundations of modern user interface programming. You’ll find in-depth coverage of topics ranging from Java object-oriented programming to generics, collections, lambda expressions, Swing UI design, and the latest approaches to concurrency and functional programming.This guide will help you:
Leverage your existing programming knowledge to quickly master core Java syntax;
Understand how encapsulation, classes, and inheritance work in Java;
Master interfaces, inner classes, and lambda expressions for functional programming;
Improve program robustness with exception handling and effective debugging;
Write safer, more readable programs with generics and strong typing;
Use pre-built collections to collect multiple objects for later retrieval;
Master concurrent programming techniques from the ground up;
Build modern cross-platform GUIs with standard Swing components;
Deploy configurable applications and applets, and deliver them across the Internet;
Simplify concurrency and enhance performance with new functional techniques.If you’re an experienced programmer moving to Java SE 8, Core Java, Tenth Edition, will be your reliable, practical companion — now and for many years to come.
