Preface

Designed to be your companion, this Pocket Guide provides a quick reference to the standard features of the Java programming language and its platform.

This Pocket Guide provides you with the information you will need while developing or debugging your Java programs, including helpful programming examples, tables, figures, and lists.

Java coverage in this book is representative through Java SE 9 incorporating a subset of the 80+ JDK Enhancement Proposals (JEPs) slated for the release. This Java coverage includes improvements to the generage language as well as coverage of the new Java Shell and the new Java Module System. This book supercedes the three previous versions: Java Pocket Guide, Java 7 Pocket Guide, and Java 8 Pocket Guide.

For uniformity and enhanced interest, the majority of the code examples in this fourth edition of the Java Pocket Guide have been updated from code segments of the Gliesians Web Application. At the time of this writing, the primary focus of the Gliesians Web Application is to provide free utilities relative to genealogy and small unmanned aerial systems.

The material in this book also provides support in preparing for the Oracle Certified Programmer exams. If you are considering pursuing one of the Java certifications, you may also wish to acquire the OCA Java SE 8 Programmer I Study Guide (Exam 1Z0-808) by Edward Finegan and Robert Liguori (McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2015).

Book Structure

This book is broken into three parts: Part I details the Java programming language as derived from the Java Language Specification (JLS) and JEPs. Part II details Java platform components and related topics. Part III is the appendixes covering supporting technologies.

The animal on the cover of Java Pocket Guide is the Javan tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica). In recent history, this extinct species lived on the island of Java in Indonesia, though fossil records indicate that as recently as 12,000 years ago, they also lived on Borneo Island and the Palawan archipelago.

Distinct for their long snouts, small frames, and relatively strong, powerful paws, these tigers subsisted on boars, deer, and wild cattle. Dutch writer J.G. ten Bokkel noted in 1890 that the locals would use an honorific title when referring to the animals (“Mister Tiger) for fear that discussing the animal in a familiar way would draw its ire.

Though efforts were made to conserve territory for these tigers as the population of Java expanded, a combination of hunting, industrial development, and civil unrest in the region drove the Javan tiger to extinction by 1994.

Many of the animals on O’Reilly covers are endangered. To learn more about how you can help, go to https://animals.oreilly.com.
