"Write Once, Run Anywhere" What a delicious and lofty ideal. If that philosophy is what seduced you to venture into Java and NetBeans, Congratulations! You are in the process of becoming a full fledged member of The Disciples of Java. I would venture to say that one of the reasons that you picked up this book is that your first experience with Java and its deluge of information was that you were completely inundated by the vast mountain of information that you discovered on the NetBeans and Java web pages. I don't blame It's not your fault to be instantly slack-jawed and not a little intimidated by what you found. I would venture to say that possibly your first attempt at using Java was less than satisfying. That's why you're here. But where's "Here"? The Warts of Java, Volume 2 – Classy Classes, the second in a series of eBooks about how to get started in Java and NetBeans, is specifically tailored to get you up and running in Java by showing how classes form one of the essential pillars of Java. Effortlessly! Well, perhaps not completely effortlessly. I'll let you be the judge of that. Please This eBook series only addresses Windows OS-based computers. If you are running Windows 7 or above, Welcome!
