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.

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.
