Java Fundamentals

Free online book “Java Fundamentals: A entry level textbook on the Java programming language” by Gary Marrer.
Description
In this eBook, we will actually develop three different kinds of Java programs. We will start by creating what’s called a console application. This console application is executed from the Windows (or Linux or Apple, or Palm or etc.) command line or what is more commonly called the DOS prompt. This application is one which will look very crude and unsophisticated as compared to what we’re used to seeing in a Windows, Macintosh or Linux environment. The next type of application which will develop is one that was more familiar with.
