Description
Appropriate for intermediate to advanced courses in Java programming.
Cay Horstmann has thoroughly updated his legendary Core Java to reflect Java 2, Standard Edition, Version 1.4. The book's new coverage includes these and many other significant enhancements: regular expressions; the high-performance New I/O API; chained exceptions, logging, and other techniques for building more reliable code; and the Preference Class, Java's new cross-platform repository for configuration information. Horstmann presents state-of-the-art discussions of object-oriented Java development, reflection and proxies, updated coverage of Swing user interface development, definitive introductions to inner classes and the Java event model, thorough explanations of stream I/O and object serialization, and much more. This edition contains new review questions and practice exercises, along with even more of the robust, real-world programs previous editions are famous for-all fully updated to reflect the latest JDK features and improvements.
