Beginning Java 17 Fundamentals: Object-Oriented Programming in Java 17 (pdf)

Description

The book continues with a series of foundation topics, including using data types, working with operators, and writing statements in Java. These basics lead onto the heart of the Java language: object-oriented programming. By learning topics such as classes, objects, interfaces, and inheritance you’ll have a good understanding of Java’s object-oriented model. The final collection of topics takes what you’ve learned and turns you into a real Java programmer.

You’ll see how to take the power of object-oriented programming and write programs that can handle errors and exceptions, process strings and dates, format data, and work with arrays to manipulate data.
