Synopsis
In this work, the author introduces the basics of objects as Java uses them. He then goes through the fundamental concepts underlying all Java programming, including program flow, initialization and clean-up, hiding implementations, reusing classes and polymorphism. Using examples, he introcuces error-handling, exceptions, Java I/O, run-time type identification, and passing and returing objects. He covers the Java AWT, multithreading, and network programming with Java., Thinking in Java is a "brash, arrogant, opinionated, independent, knowledgeable, interesting, readable book on Java." Eckel uses superb analogies between software concepts and everyday things to deliver a book ideal for teaching. It is unique because it was made available by Eckel on the Internet and so has been tested by thousands of users. Many of these people are waiting for the book to arrive.
