Preface
This Lab Manual is a desktop reference book for the practical understanding of Java language providing a straight forward approach to Java programmers. Many of the ideas and concepts contained in this book were developed over the years while practicing and teaching the art and craft of Java programming. The basic idea behind the book was to provide a simple and easy to follow guideline for programming using Java language. Most of the books available in market on Java language are heavily cluttered with information and bulk of complex theoretical principles of Java. A fresh student beginning to learn Java language usually finds those books very complex and difficult to follow, and myself being a teacher of Java for few years realized that at initial student level –studying in first year of under graduation, just starting Java programming face immense problems and lack of understanding the methodologies of Java language. So the concept of writing a simplified easy to follow book on Java language came into being which has enough examples and practical exercise to develop the student‘s ability and understanding the logic and structure of Java as a powerful programming language.
This lab manual has been written with a clear perspective of the students mind and ensuring that this book is easily understood and followed practically by the young programmers working for the first time on Java and learning how to write a program, without going too much deep into the theoretical complexities and principles of Java language. As the target is to provide a lab manual which is concise and to the point for the students, therefore the language has been kept simple and the presentation of the book has been rendered with bullets points highlighting a clear principles of Java codes, providing examples pseudo codes and syntax details and finally testing the students understanding with various exercises at the end of each chapter.
The Java Development Toolkit (JDK) version 1.5 has been used to cover the Java language and API.
