This tutorial introduces the Java™ programming language to C and C++ developers. Because you already know how to program in C/C++, we'll approach many Java programming concepts by comparison. You will learn a great deal about Java programming by learning how the Java language is similar to, and different from, C and C++. Overall, the purpose of this tutorial is to teach you the fundamentals of the Java language and get you programming quickly.

Prerequisites

This tutorial is geared toward C and C++ programmers. If you already know C or C++ and want to learn how to program in the Java language, this tutorial is for you. It doesn't particularly matter if you're a C programmer or a C++ programmer. We'll discuss the differences between the C and C++ languages as they come up.
