Acknowledgement There are a few people whom I want to thank for the continued and ongoing support they have given me during the writing of this book. First and foremost, I would like to thank my parents for all their effort and support and my friends who encouraged me to write this book. I am grateful to my mentors who also helped me to learn and guided me to skill myself in Java programming and other computer and internet technologies. I am thankful for the excellent online release notes and Java docs provided by Oracle and Java bloggers to understand the product and new features in-depth. My gratitude also goes to the team at BPB Publications for being supportive enough and providing me ample time to draft the book and guiding me throughout the publishing process. The whole team of BPB, including the technical reviewers (Amrit, Neha, and Rati) were instrumental in getting the book in much better shape than I could have ever managed.

Preface This book covers the high-level computer programming language Java, starting from fundamentals of computer programming to advanced level of programming concepts using core Java programs. The key focus is on guiding a beginner or developer to learn Java programming from scratch and implement different classes, objects, and libraries of Java while writing the code. This book focuses on some of the most frequently used object-oriented design patterns and their implementation using Java. The book describes the theoretical concepts of every module of Java, that is required to write a program and also the analytical part that helps to apply the right features of Java to convert the requirement into a Java program. The book also demonstrates the setup of the machine for Java development and the installation guide for the java software development kit, that is Java development kit (JDK). Every chapter has examples and sample programs that help to understand the concept with the actual implementation, followed by quite a few challenging questions, exercises, and problems to create an opportunity for the readers to test the skills they have learned.

This book starts with the introduction and history of programming in chapter In this chapter, we will discuss the types of computer programming such as high-level and low-level programming. We will also explore the history of Java programming. We will learn about the JDK and its module that is required to run Java in our machine. In chapter we will study about the software required to run Java on the computer and how to prepare our machine to write and run a program in the Java language. We have provided step-by-step details for installing JDK and setting up the environment variable. In chapter we will discuss the foundation of high- level Java programming. We will learn to create a Java file and declare the classes and methods. We will also discuss the use of packages and access specifiers along with the creation of variables in Java using various data types. In chapter we will discuss the types of constructors and how to create a constructor. We will also understand the use of constructors and their relation with parent and child class.

📄 Page 12

In chapter we will learn about the static keyword and the use of static keywords with variables, objects, code blocks, and classes in Java. We will also learn in detail about the advantages of static keywords. In chapter we will learn to work on String objects and String data types and use different types of String classes and their methods to manipulate or control the String data. In chapter we will discuss how to manage the list of data or multiple values of the same data type using a single variable. Also, we will learn to create a fixed list of constant data. Here, we will talk about Array and Enum types of objects. In chapter we will learn decision-making skills, or how to set conditions before executing any statement and then based on the conditions, execute the set of statements in Java programming. Also, we will study iteration or looping to read and write the data from or into a list, or perform or run a block of code or statement multiple times, again based on condition.

In chapter we will study casting and wrapping variables into classes using wrapper classes, and also learn how to make the code type-safe using generics to avoid run time errors in the program. In chapter we will study about the main feature of programming that is object-oriented programming which helps a developer to choose the right approach of programming while designing the solution. Here, we will learn all the approaches of OOPs programming using Encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism. In chapter we will study how to handle runtime errors in our program and application. This is a very important feature that a developer should follow to keep the application active even after receiving incorrect or bad data or information. Handling exceptions and errors help us to handle the situations of invalid and bad data or object and also helps to perform some additional activities to move the flow of the program in a different direction. In chapter we will learn how to manage a group of data in Java Collection. This is an advanced feature

📄 Page 14

of Java programming that we use to handle a group of data and manipulate the data using various Java collection classes and interfaces. Also, we will discuss the collections class and its method that help write the program. In chapter we will read about serialization and deserialization, that is, storing data into a file and reading data from a file. Here, we will learn about different classes and approaches to read and write and handle different types of files (for example, JSON, XML, TXT, XLS, CSV). In chapter we will learn how we can utilize the CPU and execute multiple programs simultaneously or execute the same program in chunks by splitting the parts of the program into the smallest execution units using Thread. We will also practice the creation of Thread and how to split and run our program in chunks. In chapter we will see how we can create a bridge between our Java program or application and database (SQL or NoSQL). We will learn how to establish connectivity with any database management system and get and set data from Java applications. We will discuss various libraries

and classes that are being used to perform all these in Java. In chapter we will take a deep dive into Java managing memory and see how Java manages the memory of our machine. Java has an inbuilt feature which is called garbage collection to take care of the memory which is responsible for allocation and deallocation of memory of Java objects and keeping our program or application active without any memory leakage.
