Introduction to Programming

Overview of this book

Have you ever thought about making your computer do what you want it to do? Do you want to learn to program, but just don't know where to start? Instead of guiding you in the right direction, have other learning resources got you confused with over-explanations? Don't worry. Look no further. Introduction to Programming is here to help. Written by an industry expert who understands the challenges faced by those from a non-programming background, this book takes a gentle, hand-holding approach to introducing you to the world of programming. Beginning with an introduction to what programming is, you'll go on to learn about languages, their syntax, and development environments. With plenty of examples for you to code alongside reading, the book's practical approach will help you to grasp everything it has to offer. More importantly, you'll understand several aspects of application development. As a result, you'll have your very own application running by the end of the book. To help you comprehensively understand Java programming, there are exercises at the end of each chapter to keep things interesting and encourage you to add your own personal touch to the code and, ultimately, your application.

Summary

In this chapter, you learned about Java projects, and how to set them up and use them for writing your application code and unit tests. You also learned how to build and how to execute application code and unit tests. Basically, that is what a Java programmer does most of the time. In the rest of the book, you will gain more detailed knowledge of the Java language, the standard libraries, and third-party libraries and frameworks.

In the next chapter, we will dive deeper into Java language elements and types, including int, String, and arrays. You will also learn what an identifier is and how to use it as a variable's name, as well as information about Java-reserved keywords and comments.
