**The Classic Guide to Advanced Java Programming: Fully Updated for Java
17
**
"This is the definitive reference and instructional work for Java and
the Java ecosystem."
--Andrew Binstock, Java Magazine
Core Java is the leading no-nonsense tutorial and reference for
experienced programmers who want to write robust Java code for
real-world applications. Now, Core Java, Volume II: Advanced
Features, Twelfth Edition, has been revised to cover the new features
and enhancements in the Java 17 long-term support release. As always,
all chapters have been completely updated, outdated material has been
removed, and the new APIs are covered in detail.
This volume focuses on the advanced topics that a programmer needs to
know for professional software development and includes authoritative
coverage of enterprise programming, networking, databases, security,
modularization, internationalization, code processing, and native
methods, as well as complete chapters on the Streams, XML, and Date and
Time APIs. In addition, the chapter on Advanced Swing and Graphics
covers techniques that are applicable to both client-side user
interfaces and server-side generation of graphics and images.
Cay S. Horstmann clearly explains sophisticated new features with depth
and completeness and demonstrates how to use them to build
professional-quality applications. Horstmann's thoroughly tested sample
code reflects modern Java style and best practices. The examples are
carefully crafted for easy understanding and maximum practical value, so
you can rely on them to jump-start your own programs.
