http://www.TechEdNet.com This book is for anyone who knows C, Fortran, Cobol, Pascal or Visual Basic and wants to quickly learn Java. When trying to learn a new programming language like Java you will often say to yourself "Gee, I know how to do that in Pascal", or whatever language you are currently fluent in, " but I wish I knew how to do that in Java". This book is an answer to that wish. The book is setup like a dictionary but is much more than a dictionary. Like a dictionary it helps you with the translation of words (syntax), in addition, it also tells you how you build "sentences" in various programming languages. The CD includes JDK, documentation and several Java tools.
