Java Programming 24-Hour Trainer, 2nd Edition

Introduction

Thank you for considering learning Java with the second edition of my book. This book may look thick, but it’s rather thin given the number of topics covered, and it comes with well-produced and helpful videos. 

I like this 24-Hour Trainer series from Wiley Publishing. This is not to say that you can learn the software covered in these books within 24 hours.

It’s about having a trainer that’s with you 24 hours a day. Each book in this series, which is accompanied by a set of videos, contains a minimum of theory to get you started on a subject that is new to you.

This book comes with more than six hours of Java programming screencasts that demonstrate modern concepts, techniques, and technologies in a way that facilitates learning and promotes a better understanding of the development process.

Software developers are often categorized into junior, mid-level, and senior developers. If you master all the materials of this book, rest assured that you will have achieved the technical skills of a mid-level Java developer.  I often run technical interviews for the company I work for, and I would be happy if a candidate for a mid-level position could demonstrate an understanding of all the topics covered in this book.  

Who This Book Is For

This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to program with the Java language. No previous programming experience is expected.
