This textbook was designed for higher education in technological fields where Java and object-orientation form the basis of programming education. This book covers both basic and more advanced programming.
The book assumes a general familiarity with computers, operating systems, and the most common tools (such as, for example, word processors and browsers). Readers should be familiar with concepts like "file" and "directory" and know the difference between internal memory (RAM) and storage (for example, the hard disk).
