Essentials of the JavaTMProgramming
Language: A Hands-On Guide, Part 1
by Monica Pawlan
[CONTENTS] [NEXT>>]
If you are new to programming in the JavaTM language, have some
experience with other languages, and are familiar with things like
displaying text or graphics or performing simple calculations, this
tutorial could be for you. It walks through how to use the Java® 2
Platform software to create and run three common types of
programs written for the Java platform—applications, applets, and
servlets.
You will learn how applications, applets, and servlets are similar
and different, how to build a basic user interface that handles
simple end user input, how to read data from and write data to files
and databases, and how to send and receive data over the
network. This tutorial is not comprehensive, but instead takes you
on a straight and uncomplicated path through the more common
programming features available in the Java platform.
If you have no programming experience at all, you might still find
this tutorial useful; but you also might want to take an introductory
programming course or read Teach Yourself Java 2 Online in Web
Time before you proceed.
