Introduction

Welcome to Java Essentials For Dummies. This book contains all the basic information you need to know to get going with Java programming, starting with writing statements and using variables and ending with techniques for using Java features such as arrays. Along the way, you find plenty of not-so-basic information about working with classes and objects, handling exceptions, and working from the command line.

The basic idea here is that we’ve tried to wring out the not-quite-200-or-so most useful pages of information on the most important Java programming topics: setup and configuration, basic programming, and object-oriented programming. Thus, you get a nice, trim book with just the Java you need to know.

So, whether you’re just getting started with Java programming or you’re a seasoned pro, you’ve found the right book.

About This Book

In Java Essentials For Dummies, all the information you need is conveniently packaged for you in-between one set of covers. And all the information is current for a recent release of Java, known as JDK 19. This book doesn’t pretend to be a comprehensive reference for every detail on every possible topic related to Java programming. Instead, it shows you how to get up and running fast so that you have more time to do the things you really want to do. Designed using the easy-to-follow For Dummies format, this book helps you get the information you need without laboring to find it.
