Java 1: basic syntax and semantics, software development

This book is the first in a series of books on software development. The programming language is Java, and the language and its syntax and semantics fills obviously much, but the books have also largely focus on the process and how to develop good and robust applications. The subject of the current book is an introduction to the programming language Java with an emphasis on basic language syntax and semantics, but it is also a book about what programming in general is and how to practically write and test simple programs. The book requires no knowledge about programming or the language Java, and the goal is to show how to get started writing computer programs. After reading the book and worked through the book’s exercises and problems, the reader should be able to write simple console applications in the language Java.
