This updated edition of the Nutshell guide not only helps experienced Java programmers get the most out of versions through Java 17, it also serves as a learning path for new developers. Chock-full of examples that demonstrate how to take complete advantage of modern Java APIs and development best practices, this thoroughly revised book includes new material on recent enhancements to the Java object model that every developer should know about.

The first section provides a fast-paced, no-fluff introduction to the Java programming language and the core runtime aspects of the Java platform. The second section is a reference to core concepts and APIs that explains how to perform real programming work in the Java environment.

The book covers Java 17, but we recognize that some shops may not have adopted it yet—so where possible we call out if a feature was introduced after Java 8. We use Java 17 syntax throughout, including var and lambda expressions. Java is a powerful, general-purpose programming environment. It is one of the most widely used programming environments in the world, and has been exceptionally successful in business and enterprise computing for over 25 years.

This book is a desktop Java reference, designed to sit faithfully by your keyboard while you program. Part I, “Introducing Java” is a fast-paced, “no-fluff” introduction to the Java programming language and the core runtime aspects of the Java platform. Part II, “Working with the Java Platform” is a reference section that blends elucidation of core concepts with examples of important core APIs. The book covers Java 17, but we recognize that some shops may not have adopted it yet—so where possible we call out if a feature was introduced after Java 8. We use Java 17 syntax throughout, including var and lambda expressions.
