Summary

For those who cannot afford to waste weeks or even months reading tutorial books that lead you nowhere, this book is the one they need. The best-selling introduction to Java for experienced programmers is back! Previous editions have been tremendously successful because they were written for programmers looking for a fast-paced book. The authors retain the highly illustrative examples and crystal-clear explanations of key concepts. The ninth edition is fully updated for Java SE7. According to Thomas Kurian of Oracle, "Java SE 7 will bring important improvements, including greater modularity, better support for non-Java languages, and better performance, including garbage collection optimized for multicore processors."
