JAVA Programming Applications teaches readers computer programing using the Java Language - no previous programming knowledge is required.
Using over 100 of the author’s own very clearly documented Java programs, the publication teaches in detail and step by step, how to create very useful programs. All programing applications examples presented here are based on simple every day common situations. No math, physics, statistics or other challenging topics are used as examples.
The knowledge acquired from this book will help students greatly in learning other programing languages. Java is a very clear language to learn programing and most of their functions are similarly implemented in other languages.
As of this writing the Java language is found everywhere. According to Oracle Corporation, owners of Java https://www.java.com/en/about/:
- 97% of Enterprise Desktops Run Java
- 89% of Desktops (or Computers) in the U.S. Run Java
- 9 Million Java Developers Worldwide
- #1 Choice for Developers
- #1 Development Platform
- 3 Billion Mobile Phones Run Java
- 100% of Blu-ray Disc Players Ship with Java
- 5 Billion Java Cards in Use
- 125 million TV devices run Java
- 5 of the Top 5 Original Equipment Manufacturers Ship Java ME
