Synopsis

Learning Java Through Applications emphasizes the graphical capabilities of Java and the ability to create graphical user interfaces with this popular language. It helps programmers enhance their understanding of the Java programming language through the creation of a variety of projects. The book uses 15 complete Java programs in order of increasing complexity to teach concepts, including geometric patterns, games, puzzles, number theory problems, and cryptography. In each chapter the specifications for the program are described and the code is presented along with explanatory text. The explanations include a discussion of the language features illustrated by the particular program and a discussion of the programming techniques used and design choices made. Because complete programs of significant size are included, programmers have the opportunity to explore the design choices involved and UML diagrams are included when appropriate to help them understand the overall design of each example.
