Features: This book serves as a reference guide for Java learners to use during course design after completing basic content studies. It includes 8 typical and practical cases for application. They are mutually independent, and readers can conduct hands-on experiments on each case or select only those relevant to them. These examples are distinctive and can be broadly categorized into three types: basic language and algorithms, games, and MIS systems. Among them, MIS systems are predominant. Most of the examples focus on algorithm implementation, using Applets to develop the entire program. This approach not only helps readers gain a certain understanding of algorithm implementation but also familiarizes them with Java's graphical interface, Applets, and naming conventions of the Java language. The second example is used to further understand Java's object-oriented programming concepts. The fifth example employs XML technology to build a query system. The fourth, sixth, seventh, and eighth examples primarily introduce the development methods of more comprehensive MIS systems. The corresponding database design and database drivers allow readers to recognize that MIS system development is not just a process of writing an application but a software engineering-oriented approach, starting from feasibility studies and passing through stages such as system analysis, system design, and system implementation. This book is easy to understand, logically rigorous, and arranges chapter order and content based on readers' learning and practical use. It is suitable for beginners and intermediate Java learners. For technical personnel who wish to self-study Java or further improve their Java programming skills, this book is also an invaluable reference.
