Quote from the book:

"Conceiving the workshop, the first thing I asked myself the question: what should be the article, educational programming in a new language? After analyzing the experiences of various publications, I have come to the conclusion that it is not necessary to start from scratch - for written thick volumes, which can be purchased in any bookstore. I write for those who have already had to deal with the language C ++. Guided by materials of the workshop, a programmer with experience in writing applications in C ++, can learn to write programs in Java. I want to warn readers: maybe some places you will understand at once. Do not be upset, then, when we'll start to write specific programs, much clearer. "
