The example programs have been carefully crafted to be easy to understand as well as useful in practice, so you can rely on them as an outstanding starting point for your own code.&lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt; &lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Volume I is designed to quickly bring you up to speed on what&rsquo;s new in Java SE 6 and to help you make the transition as efficiently as possible, whether you&rsquo;re upgrading from an earlier version of Java or migrating from another language. The authors concentrate on the fundamental concepts of the Java language, along with the basics of user-interface programming. You&rsquo;ll find detailed, insightful coverage of &lt;/P&gt;  &lt;UL&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Java fundamentals&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Object-oriented programming&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Interfaces and inner classes&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Reflection and proxies&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;The event listener model&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;GUI programming with Swing   &lt;LI&gt;Packaging applications   &lt;LI&gt;Exception handling   &lt;LI&gt;Logging and debugging   &lt;LI&gt;Generic programming   &lt;LI&gt;The collections framework   &lt;LI&gt;Concurrency&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;  &lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;For detailed coverage of XML processing, networking, databases, internationalization, security, advanced AWT/Swing, and other advanced features, look for the forthcoming eighth edition of <em>Core Javaâ¢, Volume IIâAdvanced Features </em>(ISBN: 978-0-13-235479-0).&lt;/P&gt;]]>

The example programs have been carefully crafted to be easy to understand as well as useful in practice, so you can rely on them as an outstanding starting point for your own code.&lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt; &lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Volume I is designed to quickly bring you up to speed on what&rsquo;s new in Java SE 6 and to help you make the transition as efficiently as possible, whether you&rsquo;re upgrading from an earlier version of Java or migrating from another language. The authors concentrate on the fundamental concepts of the Java language, along with the basics of user-interface programming. You&rsquo;ll find detailed, insightful coverage of &lt;/P&gt;  &lt;UL&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Java fundamentals&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Object-oriented programming&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Interfaces and inner classes&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Reflection and proxies&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;The event listener model&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;GUI programming with Swing   &lt;LI&gt;Packaging applications   &lt;LI&gt;Exception handling   &lt;LI&gt;Logging and debugging   &lt;LI&gt;Generic programming   &lt;LI&gt;The collections framework   &lt;LI&gt;Concurrency&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;  &lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;For detailed coverage of XML processing, networking, databases, internationalization, security, advanced AWT/Swing, and other advanced features, look for the forthcoming eighth edition of <em>Core Javaâ¢, Volume IIâAdvanced Features </em>(ISBN: 978-0-13-235479-0).&lt;/P&gt;]]>

The example programs have been carefully crafted to be easy to understand as well as useful in practice, so you can rely on them as an outstanding starting point for your own code.&lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt; &lt;/P&gt;  &lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Volume I is designed to quickly bring you up to speed on what&rsquo;s new in Java SE 6 and to help you make the transition as efficiently as possible, whether you&rsquo;re upgrading from an earlier version of Java or migrating from another language. The authors concentrate on the fundamental concepts of the Java language, along with the basics of user-interface programming. You&rsquo;ll find detailed, insightful coverage of &lt;/P&gt;  &lt;UL&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Java fundamentals&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Object-oriented programming&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Interfaces and inner classes&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;Reflection and proxies&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;  &lt;DIV style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;The event listener model&lt;/DIV&gt;  &lt;LI&gt;GUI programming with Swing   &lt;LI&gt;Packaging applications   &lt;LI&gt;Exception handling   &lt;LI&gt;Logging and debugging   &lt;LI&gt;Generic programming   &lt;LI&gt;The collections framework   &lt;LI&gt;Concurrency&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;  &lt;P style=&quot;MARGIN: 0px&quot;&gt;For detailed coverage of XML processing, networking, databases, internationalization, security, advanced AWT/Swing, and other advanced features, look for the forthcoming eighth edition of <em>Core Javaâ¢, Volume IIâAdvanced Features </em>(ISBN: 978-0-13-235479-0).&lt;/P&gt;]]>
