Summary

Grounded in the perspectives of new engineering and engineering education, and written from the viewpoint of engineering applications and practitioners, this book provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to all the core knowledge of JDK 8, currently the most widely used version in industry. The book comprises 17 chapters, covering an overview of Java, Java primitive types and operators, program flow control, arrays, classes and objects, abstract classes, interfaces and nested classes, GUI programming, advanced Swing components, exceptions and exception handling, I/O streams and files, multithreading and concurrency, the collections framework and generics, strings and regular expressions, and reflection and annotations.

Editor's review

Java Programming: From Beginner to Mastery is a systematic tutorial for Java beginners, published by Posts & Telecom Press. The author, Liu Tao, has years of experience in software development and teaching. Based on Java SE 8, the book covers the core syntax of the Java language, object-oriented programming concepts, commonly used class libraries, the collections framework, multithreading, network programming, and database operations. The structure is clear: it starts with basic concepts and gradually moves into advanced topics, and each chapter includes abundant sample code and exercises to help readers consolidate what they have learned.

From a professional perspective, the book stands out for its step-by-step instructional design and practice-oriented approach. The author not only explains syntax rules but also emphasizes cultivating programming thinking and problem-solving skills. The discussion of object-oriented concepts is particularly thorough, using numerous cases drawn from real-world development to help readers understand how to build robust applications with encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism. The treatment of commonly used technologies such as the collections framework, exception handling, and I/O streams is also clear and thorough, meeting the needs of enterprise-level development.

However, the book is somewhat lacking in the in-depth application of Java 8 features such as Lambda expressions and the Stream API, making it better suited as a systematic textbook for building a solid foundation. Readers who already have some background and want to delve into modern Java development paradigms may need to supplement it with other materials devoted specifically to the new features. Overall, this is a solid tutorial from beginner to intermediate level that helps readers build a complete Java knowledge system and lays a firm foundation for learning mainstream frameworks such as Spring.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Programming enthusiasts with no prior experience who want to learn Java systematically
  • Computer science students who need a textbook to accompany their coursework
  • Career changers entering software development who are looking for a comprehensive introductory guide
  • Developers with some knowledge of other languages who want to quickly grasp core Java concepts

Not a good fit for

  • Advanced developers seeking in-depth analysis of the latest Java 11+ features
  • Experienced programmers who only need a quick API reference or help solving specific problems

Reading tips

  1. Read the chapters in order and be sure to practice the sample code in each chapter hands-on
  2. When encountering abstract concepts, study the book's examples repeatedly to grasp the object-oriented design ideas
  3. Complete the exercises at the end of each chapter and try extending or modifying the sample code to deepen your understanding

About the author

Liu Tao Author · China · 1960

Liu Tao, born in 1960, is a Chinese author. The library holds 15 of his works, spanning a wide range of subjects: from the philosophical classic translation Zhuangzi Yizhu to works on communication and language theory such as Visual Rhetoric and Studies in Visual Communication (Volume II); from titles on urban and rural planning and engineering, including Methods and Applications of Ecological Space Evaluation for Village and Town Communities, A Casebook of Village and Town Community Planning and Design, and BIM Construction Organization Design and Management, to materials and industrial technology such as Materials in Polar Environments and Surface Protection Technology. In medicine, he is represented by Collected Academic Thought and Clinical Experience of Wang Canhui. His writing combines scholarly compilation with applied research and covers a broad field. Public information is limited, so biographical details are omitted here.

Hu Ping Author · Chinese · 1947

Hu Ping, born in Nanchang, Jiangxi, in 1947, is a Chinese reportage writer and scholar. He entered the Department of Chinese at Fudan University in 1977. He has served as director of the Creative Research Department of the China Writers Association and executive vice president of the Lu Xun Literature Academy, and is now a researcher at Nanchang University. His works are mainly reportage, with representative titles such as A Thousand Years of Weight, China on Porcelain, and Forest Chronicle. He has received the National Excellent Reportage Award and the "Five-One Project" Award. Four of his books are included in the library, spanning management, industrial technology, examinations, and inspirational growth: Practical Operation and Promotion of Taobao Online Stores (Micro-Lecture Edition), Planning Methods for Regional Smart Grids, Java Programming from Beginner to Mastery, and Strategies for Dealing with Malice in Mencius. The range is broad, covering both practical technical and operational guides and popular readings that draw wisdom for daily life from classical texts.

姜飞 Author

Jiang Fei is an author about whom limited public information is available. The library currently holds three works under this name, spanning a fairly wide range of subjects. Among them, The Postcolonial Context of Intercultural Communication: Revised Edition and Communication and Culture fall within the fields of culture and language, focusing on intercultural communication and cultural studies with a clear scholarly orientation. Java Programming from Beginner to Mastery, by contrast, turns to introductory computer programming, emphasizing practical operation and the explanation of knowledge. These three works suggest that Jiang Fei's writing combines academic reflection with skills popularization, attending to theoretical issues in cultural communication while also venturing into the compilation of technical reference books. As information such as dates of birth and death, nationality, education, and professional experience remains unconfirmed, the author's personal background cannot be described in detail; readers may instead approach his writing orientation through the subjects of the works listed above.

许荣泉 Author

Xu Rongquan is an author about whom limited public information is available; only one work by this name, Java Programming from Beginner to Mastery, is currently known. Judging from its title, the book is an introductory Java text aimed at beginners. The phrase "from beginner to mastery" suggests a step-by-step approach that moves from basic syntax to more advanced applications. In library classification the book is placed under exam preparation, indicating that it may serve computer-level exams, programming certification, or related course study and review, with readers likely to include students, self-learners, and candidates who need to organize key concepts systematically. Since no reliable record of the author's education, professional background, or writing career is available, no speculation is offered here; based on the existing work alone, the author's writing centers on programming and basic computer education, emphasizing a gradual knowledge progression and practical exercises, making the book suitable as a self-study or supplementary text for beginners.
