In this first lesson, we are embarking on our study of Java. If you are coming to Java from a background of working with another programming language, you probably know that Java is a language for programming computers. But Java goes beyond just that. It's more than a very popular and successful language that is virtually present everywhere, it is a collection of technologies. Besides the language, it encompasses a very rich ecosystem and it has a vibrant community working on many facets to make the ecosystem as dynamic as it can be.

Overview of this book
Since its inception, Java has stormed the programming world. Its features and functionalities provide developers with the tools needed to write robust cross-platform applications. Java Fundamentals introduces you to these tools and functionalities that will enable you to create Java programs.
The book begins with an introduction to the language, its philosophy, and evolution over time, until the latest release. You'll learn how the javac/java tools work and what Java packages are - the way a Java program is usually organized. Once you are comfortable with this, you'll be introduced to advanced concepts of the language, such as control flow keywords. You'll explore object-oriented programming and the part it plays in making Java what it is. In the concluding chapters, you'll get to grips with classes, typecasting, and interfaces, and understand the use of data structures, arrays, strings, handling exceptions, and creating generics.
By the end of this book, you will have learned to write programs, automate tasks, and follow advanced courses on algorithms and data structures or explore more advanced Java courses.
