The Java® Tutorial, Sixth Edition, is based on the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) 8. This revised and updated edition introduces the new features added to the platform, including lambda expressions, default methods, aggregate operations, and more. An accessible and practical guide for programmers of any level, this book focuses on how to use the rich environment provided by Java to build applications, applets, and components.

Expanded coverage includes a chapter on the Date-Time API and a new chapter on annotations, with sections on type annotations and pluggable type systems as well as repeating annotations.

In addition, the updated sections “Security in Rich Internet Applications” and “Guidelines for Securing Rich Internet Applications” address key security topics. The latest deployment best practices are described in the chapter “Deployment in Depth.”

If you plan to take one of the Java SE 8 certification exams, this book can help. A special appendix, “Preparing for Java Programming Language Certification,” details the items covered on the available exams. Check online for updates.

All of the material has been thoroughly reviewed by members of Oracle Java engineering to ensure that the information is accurate and up to date. This book is based on the online tutorial hosted on Oracle Corporation’s website at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, but not a beginners book in computer programming
    Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2017
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This is an excellent book. The title describes it as "A Short Course on the Basics", and one might thus think that it would be a good book for beginners. Beginners will find themselves getting quickly in over their heads shortly after getting past page 100 of this 800-page book. It is an excellent reference for those with experience in computer programming who want to use Java. The authors are or were members of the Oracle Corporation staff and are Java authorities.

    The material is based on an online tutorial on the Oracle Corporation web site. Program listings used in the book are included there and can be run in the NetBeans IDE. I found this to be very helpful, as I could thus modify and explore them.

    A great book for beginners. Different from other books, this book do not suppose the reader have any knowledge about programming language. The way this book introduce knowledge is always "instantiated" with analogues which make my understanding much easier. The conventions are also mentioned, such as use of "$" is not used although it is legit. There are plenty of code examples and questions and exercises.
    This is the book I'm looking for. Thanks, authors.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2017
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    If you have experience in programming this is a great book for you. However, unless you are a prodigy, this book is not for someone who is completely new to programming and coding. The concepts are not taught in an order that builds from chapter to chapter. Some of the examples use concepts that are chapters ahead. Good book overall though.
