Weâll be doing this next project in Java. Unfortunately youâre a C++ programmer or maybe a Python programmer. How are you going to get up to speed in a hurry? There are lots of Java books for beginners telling you all about what a computer is and how it represents everything in bits. You donât need that. At the other extreme there are thousand-page tomes that you arenât going to get through in a few days if ever. You need something in-between. This book is intended to fill that gap. Itâs written for the programmer who doesnât need to be taught how to program just how to do it in Javaâand who needs to get started in a hurry. Java is covered from the inside out. First all the things that go inside a class most of which are practically identical to C++. After that all the various and complicated kinds of classes and interfaces and how they relate to each other in large-scale programs. Testing is essential so (unlike most Java books) JUnit is covered in detail. Then in case you need to go in that direction some functional programming a little about parallel programming and more than enough to get you started in building GUIs (graphical user interfaces) and doing animation. Thereâs a lot in this little book and despite my best efforts you wonât learn Java in a weekend. But it should be a good start. FEATURES Circular approach allows very fast entry into Java Full description of JUnit testing Summary of functional programming in Java Introduction to synchronization and parallel processing Extensive description of building GUIs .
