Introduction
The American Women’s College
This book assumes that you are already familiar with the Python programming language. We will use Python as a starting point for our journey into Java. We will begin by looking at a very simple Java program, just to see what the language looks like and how we get a program to run. Next, we will look at the main constructs that are common to most programming languages:
- Data Types
- Loops
- Reading user input
- Conditionals
Once we have the basics of Java behind us we will move on to look at the features of Java that are both unique and powerful.
- Classes
- Interfaces
- Collections
- Graphical User Interface Programming
- Generic Programming
