Core Java, Volume I: Fundamentals

Core Java, Volume I: Fundamentals, 11th Edition, is a textbook designed to help programmers write robust and maintainable code. Updated to address Java SE 9, 10, and 11, it provides foundational instruction in the Java programming language and its standard application programming interfaces.

The book covers core principles of object-oriented programming, generic code design, standard collections, and functional programming using lambda expressions. It also covers graphical user interface development through the Swing toolkit alongside techniques for coordinating multithreaded tasks across multicore systems.

Intended for experienced developers adopting Java SE 9 through 11, this volume integrates Java modularization to demonstrate structured software development and uses hundreds of realistic code examples to illustrate practical implementation.
