Basics of Java

The basic syntax of the Java language is described: data types, operators, conditions, loops, regular expressions, lambda expressions, method references, object-oriented programming. The main classes of the standard library, obtaining data from the Internet, and working with the MySQL database are covered. The book contains a large number of practical examples to help start programming in Java independently. All material is carefully selected, well structured, and compactly presented, allowing the book to be used as a convenient reference. The second edition includes a chapter on Java 11 and describes most of the innovations: modules, interactive shell JShell, var instruction, etc. An electronic archive with examples is available on the publisher's website.
