This book focuses on the author's experience in writing and maintaining large-scale programs in the fields of defense and geography. Strategies and techniques for writing large, maintainable programs are completely different from the programming methods learned by junior engineers in school. The enormous cost of maintaining and modifying large programs requires these programs to be highly readable and maintainable. The Java programming language meets this requirement. Its platform independence makes it very easy to port programs between computers, and its simple (compared to C) syntax rules and strict object-oriented approach meet the requirements for writing clean programs. This book will teach the basics of the Java language and a very good programming style, adopting which can lead to writing more maintainable programs.
