Java in a Nutshell

By David Flanagan; 1-56592-262-X, 628 pages.

2nd Edition, May 1997

Table of Contents

Preface

Part I: Introducing Java

Part I is an introduction to Java and Java programming. If you know how to program in C or C++,

these chapters teach you everything you need to know to start programming with Java.

If you are already familiar with Java 1.0 you may want to just skip ahead to Part II, which

introduces the new features of Java 1.1.

Chapter 1: Getting Started with Java

Chapter 2: How Java Differs from C

Chapter 3: Classes and Objects in Java

Part II: Introducing Java 1.1

The two chapters in this part introduce the new features of Java 1.1. Chapter 4 is an overview of

the new APIs, and Chapter 5 explains the new language syntax. See Part III for some examples of

the new features.

Chapter 4: What's New in Java 1.1

Chapter 5: Inner Classes and Other New Language Features

Part III: Programming with the Java 1.1 API

Part III contains examples of programming with the new features of Java 1.1. You can study and

learn from the examples, and you should feel free to adapt them for use in your own programs.

The examples shown in these chapters may be downloaded from the Internet. See

http://www.ora.com/catalog/books/javanut2/ . Some of the chapters in this part also contain tables

and other reference material for new features in Java 1.1.

Part III of this book is "deprecated." Most of the examples from the first edition of this book do

not appear here, and Part III may disappear altogether in the next edition of the book.

Unfortunately, as Java continues to grow, there is less and less room for programming examples

in this book. However, all of the examples from the first edition are still available on the Web

page listed above.

Chapter 6: Applets

Chapter 7: Events

Chapter 8: New AWT Features

Chapter 9: Object Serialization

Chapter 10: Java Beans

Chapter 11: Internationalization

Chapter 12: Reflection

Part IV: Java Language Reference

Part IV contains reference material on the Java language and related topics. Chapter 13 contains a

number of useful summary tables of Java syntax. Chapter 14 describes the standard Java system

properties and how to use them. Chapter 15 covers the syntax of the HTML tags that allow you to

include Java applets in Web pages. Chapter 16 documents the command-line syntax for the Java

compiler, interpreter, and other tools shipped with the JDK.

Chapter 13: Java Syntax

Chapter 14: System Properties

Chapter 15: Java-Related HTML Tags

Chapter 16: JDK Tools

Part V: API Quick Reference

Part V is the real heart of this book: quick-reference material for the Java API. Please read the

following section, How to Use This Quick Reference , to learn how to get the most out of this

material.

Acknowledgments

This handbook is a desktop quick reference for Java programmers; it covers version 1.1 of the Java

language and API. It also includes introductory and tutorial material for C and C++ programmers who

want to learn Java. It was written to sit faithfully by your keyboard for easy reference while you program.

The wild success of the first edition has shown that this is exactly what Java programmers want, and I've

retained the "no fluff" explanations and the to-the-point reference material in this second edition. I hope

that new readers will find this book useful, and that old readers will find it even more useful than the last

one!

Contents of This Book

This book is divided into five parts:

Part I: Introducing Java

This first part of the book introduces Java and Java programming, with a particular emphasis on

helping C and C++ programmers make the transition to Java. If you are already familiar with Java

1.0 programming, you can skip the three chapters in this part.
