Preface

The American Women’s College

Welcome to Java for Python Programmers. This short ebook is an ongoing project to help Computer Science students who have had one or two semesters of Python learn the Java programming language. If you are not a part of that audience you may still find this a useful way to learn about Java. This book is written using the build on what you know philosophy. In order to help you learn Java I will start with a Python example and then implement the example in Java. Along the way we will examine the strengths, weaknesses and differences between those two languages.

This book does not attempt to replace the many good Java reference books that are available. Minimal edits were made to the original source (Java for Python Programmers, attributed below).

The original Java for Python Programmers has been adapted with minimal edits from its source to this platform for improved accessibility. None of the authors, contributors, administrators, or anyone else connected with The American Women’s College in any way whatsoever, can be responsible for your use of the information contained in or linked from these pages.
