The #1 Java Guide for Serious Programmers: Fully Updated for Java SE 9, 10 & 11



For serious programmers, Core Java, Volume I—Fundamentals, Eleventh Edition, is the definitive guide to writing robust, maintainable code. Whether you're using Java SE 9, 10, or 11, it will help you achieve a deep and practical understanding of the language and API, and its hundreds of realistic examples reveal the most powerful and effective ways to get the job done.



Cay Horstmann's updated examples reflect Java's long-awaited modularization, showing how to write code that's easier to manage and evolve. You'll learn how to use JShell's new Read-Eval-Print Loop (REPL) for more rapid and exploratory development, and apply key improvements to the Process API, contended locking, logging, and compilation.



In this first of two volumes, Horstmann offers in-depth coverage of fundamental Java and UI programming, including objects, generics, collections, lambda expressions, Swing design, concurrency, and functional programming. If you're an experienced programmer moving to Java SE 9, 10, or 11, there's no better source for expert insight, solutions, and code.

Questo consistente manuale di Java in due volumi è estremamente interessante e utile per chi un pochetto già ne capisce di programmazione.

This book goes into a good amount of detail about most topics it covers. It does however spend less time than I would have liked on things like generics. Overall, it is probably the best non-single-topic-specific Java series book I have read.
