“We’ll be doing this next project in Java.”

Unfortunately, you’re a C++ programmer, or maybe a Python

programmer. How are you going to get up to speed in a hurry? There
are lots of Java books for beginners, telling you all about what a computer
is and how it represents everything in bits. You don’t need that. At the
other extreme, there are thousand-page tomes that you aren’t going to get
through in a few days, if ever. You need something in-between.

This book is intended to fill that gap. It’s written for the programmer
who doesn’t need to be taught how to program, just how to do it in
Java—and who needs to get started in a hurry.

Java is covered from the inside out. First, all the things that go inside a
class, most of which are practically identical to C++. After that, all the
various and complicated kinds of classes and interfaces and how they
relate to each other in large-scale programs.

Testing is essential, so (unlike most Java books) JUnit is covered in detail.

Then, in case you need to go in that direction, some functional
programming, a little about parallel programming, and more than
enough to get you started in building GUIs (graphical user interfaces)
and doing animation.

There’s a lot in this little book and, despite my best efforts, you won’t
learn Java in a weekend. But it should be a good start.
FEATURES

• Circular approach allows very fast entry into Java

• Full description of JUnit testing
• Summary of functional programming in Java
• Introduction to synchronization and parallel processing
• Extensive description of building GUIs

Author

I ’M DAVID MATUSZEK, known to most of my students as “Dr. Dave.”

I wrote my first program on punched cards in 1963 and immediately got

hooked.

I taught my first computer classes in 1970 as a graduate student in

computer science at the University of Texas in Austin. I eventually got
my PhD from there, and I’ve been teaching ever since. Admittedly, I
spent over a dozen years in industry, but even then I taught as an adjunct
at Villanova University.

I finally escaped from industry and joined the Villanova faculty full-time
for a few years, then I moved to the University of Pennsylvania, where I
directed a Master’s in Computer and Information Technology (MCIT)
program for students entering computer science from another discipline.
Throughout my career, my main interests have been in artificial
intelligence (AI) and programming languages. I’ve used a lot of pro-
gramming languages.

I retired in 2017, but I can’t stop teaching, so I’m writing a series of

“quick start” books on programming and programming languages. I’ve
also written three science fiction novels—Ice Jockey, All True Value, and
A Prophet in Paradise—and I expect to write more. Check them out!

And, hey, if you’re a former student of mine, drop me a note. I’d love to
hear from you at [Link]@[Link].
