Two Java Programming Guides
Here are two Java Programming Guides, written by C.
J. Whyley, from the Department of Computer Science, University of Wales
Swansea. These will help you become a better Java programming, or get
started programming in Java. The first one, from their Programming in
Java course, is a 20-page document explaining the basic Java
programming topics, such as Objects, Classes, Methods, Variable,
Debugging, Collections, Libraries, Inheritance. The second one listed
below reviews and teaches building a graphical user interface,
programming with exceptions, concurrent programming with threads, and
design patterns.
Programming
in Java Course Notes
Programs written in Java - an Object-Oriented language - consist of
several objects communicating with each other in order to solve a task.
Each object has properties and behaviour. Details of an object's
properties are contained in its fields, and its behaviour is defined in
it methods. An object is described by a class. A class can have several
different objects. It is easiest to think of a class as being a sort of
factory, which is responsible for making objects. (20 pages, 208kb, pdf
