The Classic Guide to the Java Programming Language--Fully Updated through Java 25

Whatever version of Java you are using, Core Java, Volume I: Fundamentals, Fourteenth Edition, will help you achieve a deep and practical understanding of the language and APIs. With hundreds of realistic examples, Java Champion Cay S. Horstmann demonstrates the most powerful and effective ways to get the job done.

Written for experienced programmers looking for in-depth coverage of the Java language and platform, this revised and updated edition continues to be the first choice for serious programmers. The carefully crafted sample programs demonstrate almost every language and library feature, as well as the newest capabilities introduced in Java 25. The examples are purposefully simple to focus on the major points, but for the most part, they aren't fake and they don't cut corners. They should make good starting points for your own code.

This first of two volumes offers a detailed treatment of fundamental Java programming topics, including object-oriented programming, reflection and proxies, interfaces and inner classes, exception handling, generics, collections, lambda expressions, concurrency, annotations, and the Java platform module system.

Master foundational techniques, idioms, and best practices forwriting superior Java code Leverage the power of interfaces, lambda expressions, and inner classes Take advantage of sealed class hierarchies and pattern matching for processing structured data 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 Explore simple programs with compact compilation units, instance main methods, and module imports Assemble complex programs with archives and modules Effectively utilize Java's powerful concurrency model, using platform and virtual thread

This is the definitive reference and instructional work for Java and the Java ecosystem."--Andrew Binstock, Java Magazine

The Classic Guide to the Java Programming Language--Fully Updated through Java 25

Core Java is the leading no-nonsense tutorial and reference for experienced programmers who want to write robust Java code for real-world applications. Now, Core Java, Volume II: Advanced Features, Fourteenth Edition, has been revised to cover the new features and enhancements in the Java 25 long-term support release. As always, all chapters have been completely updated, outdated material has been removed, and the new APIs are covered in detail.

This volume focuses on the advanced topics that a programmer needs to know for professional software development and includes authoritative coverage of fi le processing, networking, databases, security, internationalization, compiling and scripting, and foreign functions, as well as complete chapters on the Streams, XML, and Date and Time APIs. In addition, the chapters on Swing and Graphics cover techniques that are applicable to both client-side user interfaces and server-side generation of graphics and images.

Cay S. Horstmann clearly explains sophisticated new features with depth and completeness and demonstrates how to use them to build professional-quality applications. Horstmann's thoroughly tested sample code reflects modern Java style and best practices. The examples are carefully crafted for easy understanding and maximum practical value, so you can rely on them to jump-start your own programs.

An Essential Guide to the Core Language and Libraries--Updated for Java 21

Modern Java introduces major enhancements that impact the core language and APIs at the heart of the Java platform. Many old Java idioms are no longer needed, and new features and programming paradigms can make you far more effective. However, navigating these changes can be challenging.

Core Java for the Impatient, Fourth Edition, is a complete guide that reflects all changes through Java SE 21, Oracle's latest Long-Term Support (LTS) release. Written by Cay S. Horstmann--author of the classic two-volume Core Java--this concise tutorial offers a faster, easier pathway for learning modern Java.

Horstmann covers everything working developers need to know, including the powerful concepts of lambda expressions and streams, modern constructs such as records and sealed classes, and sophisticated concurrent programming techniques. Given the size and scope of Java 21, there's plenty to cover. As in previous editions, everything is presented in small chunks organized for quick access and easy understanding, with plenty of practical insights and sample code to help you quickly apply all that's new.

Test code as you create it with JShell Improve your object-oriented design with records and sealed classes Effectively use text blocks, switch expressions, and pattern matching Understand functional programming with lambda expressions Streamline and optimize data management with the Streams API Use structured techniques, threadsafe data structures, and virtual threads for effective concurrent programming Work with the modularized Java API and third-party modules Take advantage of API improvements for working with collections, input/output, regular expressions, and processes

Whether you're an experienced developer just getting started with modern Java or have been programming with Java for years, this guide will help you write more robust, efficient, and secure Java code.

Core Java for the Impatient provides accessible coverage of Java features that will enable readers to

Master foundational techniques, idioms, and best practices for writing superior Java code Leverage the power of input/output Improve performance and efficiency Fully utilize multicore processors with Java's improved concurrency

Readers familiar with Horstmann's  original, two-volume “Core Java” books who are looking for a comprehensive, but condensed guide to all of the new features and functions of Java SE 9 will learn how these new features impact the language and core libraries. Instead of the meticulous detail that the much larger two-volume set provides, this condensed treatment focuses on practical examples and is presented in bite-sized chunks.  As with Java 8, Modern Java idioms are no longer required and there is a much faster, easier pathway for learning Java. Horstmann quickly cuts to the chase without lecturing about the superiority of one paradigm over another or rehashing Java history. Given the size of the Java language and the scope of the new features introduced in Java 9, there is a great deal of new material to cover, but it is presented in small chunks organized so that you can quickly retrieve it when needed.  This book covers all aspects of Java that a modern developer needs to know, including modularity, as well as the powerful lambda expressions that were introduced in Java 8. It will also tell you how to find out more about old-fashioned concepts that you might still see in legacy code, but won't dwell on them.
