Intended for Java programmers writing applications or applets involving graphics or graphical user interfaces and is a companion to the book entitled, "Java in a Nutshell, 3rd ed."

The Swing user interface class library solves many of the incompatibles that characterize AWT-based Java programs. With Swing, Java advances into a new era of robust, full-featured programs. This programmer's companion includes a tutorial designed for the non-novice to quickly start using Swing.

From the author of "Java in a Nutshell" comes a compact reference material onall the GUI and graphics related classes in the numerous "java.

An expert programmer's guide to the Java Foundation Classes. This is the perfect bridge book to help Java developers migrate from AWT to JFC--and the perfect start-to-finish tutorial for experienced programmers new to Java GUI building.

This updated edition introduces the basics of Java and everything necessary to get up to speed on the new 1.4 version quickly. CD contains the Java 2 SDK for Windows, Linux and Solaris.

The #1 Guide for Serious Programmers: Fully Updated for Java SE 9, 10 & 11 Cay Horstmann’s Core Java, Volume I—Fundamentals, Eleventh Edition, is the definitive guide to writing robust, maintainable code with the Java SE 9, 10, and 11 language and libraries. Horstmann writes for serious programmers who use Java in production projects, and need a deep, practical understanding of the language and API. Throughout, he delivers what you need most: hundreds of real (non-toy) examples revealing the most powerful, effective ways to get the job done. Updated examples reflect the new var keyword and take advantage of improvements in the Java API. You’ll learn how to use JShell’s new Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL) for more rapid and exploratory development, and apply new features of the APIs for streams, input/output, processes, and concurrency. In this first of two volumes, Horstmann offers in-depth coverage of fundamental Java and UI programming, including object-oriented programming, generics, collections, lambda expressions, Swing design, concurrency, and functional programming. If you’re an experienced programmer moving to Java SE 9, 10, or 11, there’s no better source for expert insight, solutions, and code. Master foundational techniques, idioms, and best practices for writing superior Java code Efficiently implement encapsulation and inheritance Use sound principles of object-oriented design Leverage the full power of objects with interfaces, lambda expressions, and inner classes Harden programs through effective exception handling and debugging Write safer, more reusable code with generic programming Improve performance and efficiency with Java’s standard collections Build cross-platform GUIs with the Swing toolkit Fully utilize multicore processors with Java’s improved concurrency See Core Java, Volume II—Advanced Features, Eleventh Edition (ISBN-13: 978-0-13-516631-4), for expert coverage of Java 9, 10, and 11 enterprise features, the module system, annotations, networking, security, and advanced UI programming.

A concise introduction to the Java Foundation Classes and Swing components--the hot new cross-platform Java tools for building application GUIs. The CD-ROM includes all code and examples from the book and the Sun JDK and Java Run-Time, plus a JFC-compliant browser and the Borland JBuilder.

Takes a tutorial approach towards developing and serving Java applets, offering step-by-step instruction on such areas as motion pictures, animation, applet interactivity, file transfers, sound, and type. Original. (Intermediate).

For programmers who are familiar with the concepts and techniques of another language who want to move quickly to writing Java applets and applications. The book starts with a rapid but comprehensive description of Java covering the use of data types, arrays, variables, methods, expresions, program flow and security features to give it a solid grounding for the programming techinques to come later in the book.
