Packed with examples of business applications, Murach's Beginning Java 2, JDK 5 gets you off to a fast start by showing you how to use the Java 1.5 Scanner class to create a complete business application almost immediately, in chapter 2. And by the end of chapter 6, you'll be writing bulletproof, object-oriented applications with your own business classes and objects.
The rest of the book then gives you a solid grounding in OOP, so that features like inheritance, polymorphism, and interfaces aren't just buzzwords anymore. It teaches you the basics of how to develop GUIs using Swing. And it shows you how to handle data in text files, binary files, and databases.
All of the content is presented in Murach's distinctive "paired pages" format. That means every topic is presented in a two-page spread, with the critical examples and coding details on the righthand page and additional explanation on the left. It's a time-saving format for reference as well as for training.
