 PREFACE
The most powerful tool in today’s world is information. While the Internet has made all
sorts of information easily accessible, what is crucial is the acquisition of knowledge
that is relevant to one’s chosen calling. In this respect, knowledge of Java is crucial for a
successful career in the eld of Information Technology.
The objective of this guide is to familiarize the students with the technology and body
of knowledge about Java from the examination point of view. A perusal of this useful
recapitulation of all key knowledge of Java just before examinations or interview will help
to improve the candidates’ scores considerably. The primary focus of the book is to help
the students learn and judge where they stand. I have tried to cover every aspect of the
subject of Java. Some facets of the technology are only covered to the extent necessary to
help students understand what they need to know, but we hope this book will serve them as
a valuable professional resource in their entire technical career.
This book focuses on providing resources and ideas to help beginners reach a much
higher standard of comprehension by making them familiar with Java programming in
a simple way. It helps students to acquire good programming skills, a strong sense of
problem-solving technique and positive approaches to write a program with the help of
proper description of fundamental ideas, a large number of solved examples, various
interview-related key points and sample questions for practice. This book simplies the
approach towards Java programming in a modular fashion, encapsulating various aspects
in a manner that equips the students with skills to write all kinds of programs.
This book is organized in such a way as to serve as an in-depth review material for
both experienced Java professionals as well as newcomers to Java technologies. Each
chapter covers a major element of examinations with an emphasis on the ‘why’ as well as
the ‘how to’ of working with Java applications.
