Best-selling programming author Herb Schildt and Dr. Danny Coward cover the entire Java language, including its syntax, keywords, and fundamental programming principles. You'll also find information on key portions of the Java API library, such as I/O, the Collections Framework, the stream library, and the concurrency utilities. Swing, JavaBeans, and servlets are examined, and numerous examples demonstrate Java in action. Of course, recent additions to the Java platform, such as pattern matching in switch statements, record patterns, sequenced collections and virtual threads are discussed in detail. Best of all, the book is written in the clear, crisp, uncompromising style that has made Schildt and Coward the choice of millions worldwide"-- Provided by publisher.
