Java is a high-level, cross-platform, object-oriented programming language that allows applications to be written once and run on a multitude of different devices. Java applications are ubiquitous, and the language is consistently ranked as one of the most popular and dominant in the world. Christopher Roses Java Succinctly Part 1 describes the foundations of Java-from printing a line of text to the console, to inheritance hierarchies in object-oriented programming. The e-book covers practical aspects of programming, such as debugging and using an IDE, as well as the core mechanics of the language.
