Murach's Java Programming (6th Edition)

Additional Book Details

This Murach book shows you how to develop Java applications, whether you're new to Java or new to programming entirely. It starts with a course in the essentials that will have you writing your first, non-trivial Java applications by the end of chapter 2 using an IDE (the book covers both NetBeans and Eclipse). And by the end of chapter 9, you'll be creating bulletproof object-oriented applications that validate user input, handle exceptions, use arrays, and store data in files. Then, the remaining chapters build on those essentials by covering more skills for OOP, graphical user interfaces (GUIs), strings, collections, lambdas, recursion, algorithms, dates, times, and databases...all the skills you'll use on the job all the time.
