Learn Java 17 Programming

Chapter 1: Getting Started with Java 17

This chapter is about how to start learning Java 17 and Java in general. We will begin with the basics, first explaining what Java is and its main terms, followed by how to install the necessary tools to write and run (execute) a program. In this respect, Java 17 is not much different from the previous Java versions, so this chapter’s content applies to the older versions too.

We will describe and demonstrate all the necessary steps for building and configuring a Java programming environment. This is the bare minimum that should have on your computer to start programming. We also describe the basic Java language constructs and illustrate them with examples that can be executed immediately.

The best way to learn a programming language—or any language, for that matter—is to use it, and this chapter guides readers on how they can do this with Java. We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • How to install and run Java
  • How to install and run an integrated development environment (IDE)
  • Java primitive types and operators
  • String types and literals
  • Identifiers (IDs) and variables
  • Java statements

Key benefits

  • A step-by-step guide for beginners to get started with programming in Java 17
  • Explore core programming topics including GUI programming, concurrency, and error handling
  • Write efficient code and build projects while learning the fundamentals of programming

Description

Java is one of the most preferred languages among developers. It is used in everything right from smartphones and game consoles to even supercomputers, and its new features simply add to the richness of the language. This book on Java programming begins by helping you learn how to install the Java Development Kit. You’ll then focus on understanding object-oriented programming (OOP), with exclusive insights into concepts such as abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, which will help you when programming for real-world apps. Next, you’ll cover fundamental programming structures of Java such as data structures and algorithms that will serve as the building blocks for your apps with the help of sample programs and practice examples. You’ll also delve into core programming topics that will assist you with error handling, debugging, and testing your apps. As you progress, you’ll move on to advanced topics such as Java libraries, database management, and network programming and also build a sample project to help you understand the applications of these concepts. By the end of this Java book, you’ll not only have become well-versed with Java 17 but also gained a perspective into the future of this language and have the skills to code efficiently with best practices.

Who is this book for?

This book is for those who would like to start a new career in the modern Java programming profession, as well as those who do it professionally already and would like to refresh their knowledge of the latest Java and related technologies and ideas.

What you will learn

  • Understand and apply object-oriented principles in Java
  • Explore Java design patterns and best practices to solve everyday problems
  • Build user-friendly and attractive GUIs with ease
  • Understand the usage of microservices with the help of practical examples
  • Discover techniques and idioms for writing high-quality Java code
  • Get to grips with the usage of data structures in Java

I have just finished reading Nick Samoylov's book Learn Java 17 Programming. He takes you into a fascinating Java journey by introducing you first to the language building blocks, such as the Java Class Library (JCL), and how the Object Oriented Programming (OOP) principles, such as inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation, are applied in Java. Once he prepares the ground with the basics, he describes the language's new features, such as Sealed and Record classes, while exploring exciting APIs such as Collections and Stream. Nick goes to further distances to give the reader a crisp description of the available techniques for reactive programming and performance benchmarking on Java. I like Nick's writing style because, whenever possible, he provides his personal views from previous experience when explaining a technical concept. It improves the learning experience and turns reading more enjoyable. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned developer, Nick's book is a must-read if you want to learn Java or refresh your skills.

Very clearly and simply written book with good examples to make home the point about the language. Really liked the author's approach to do away with unnecessary pedantic sounded approach, and explain the language in an approachable fashion, so as one can learn the language.Highly Recommended for all Java lovers.

This book is great for someone learning Java or programming in general. It goes over the basic fundamentals and explains why certain structures are used when they are. I think it would make a great textbook or something for a newer programer to use as a refresher when they get stumped. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to get a good foundation in Java.

I enjoyed reading this book and learning about the latest features of Java 17. The author explained all the concepts with lots of code snippets, making this book a great resource for both new and experienced Java developers. Some of my favorite topics included the comprehensive list of IDEs for writing Java code, the way the concept of byte code is explained with an example, an explanation of how the toString() method is implemented in JDK, thorough coverage of the latest Java 17 features, like sealed classes and records. I also found the coverage of complex topics like streams, reactive programming, and micro benchmarking with JMH good enough to get started with it. The companion GitHub site for this book is also very helpful, allowing you to easily download and access code examples. Overall, an excellent book for those looking to master the latest version of Java and improve their coding skills.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
