Beginning Java 8 fundamentals: language syntax, arrays, data types, objects, and regular expressions

摘要

Java was born more than two decades ago, aiming to be simple and targeting embedded platforms. Over the years, however, Java has grown to provide a rather rich set of features and can run on a broad range of computing devices. This makes it difficult for even experienced Java programmers to master the language fully. This book is an excellent, in-depth introduction to Java fundamentals. Indeed, in my 20 years of experience in Java development and IT education, this book is perhaps the first one that introduces Java fundamentals in such a thorough and comprehensive way, using a good collection of examples. Just as the author said in the introduction, the book serves as an excellent reference book to any serious Java developer.
