Java: The Complete Reference, Thirteenth Edition

The definitive guide to Java programming―thoroughly revised for Java SE 21
Fully updated for Java SE 21, Java™: The Complete Reference, Thirteenth Edition explains how to develop, compile, debug, and run Java programs. Best-selling programming author Herb Schildt and Dr. Danny Coward cover the entire Java language, including its syntax, keywords, and fundamental programming principles. You’ll also find information on key portions of the Java API library, such as I/O, the Collections Framework, the stream library, and the concurrency utilities. Swing, JavaBeans, and servlets are examined, and numerous examples demonstrate Java in action.
Recent additions to the Java platform, such as pattern matching in switch statements, record patterns, sequenced collections and virtual threads are also discussed in detail.
