Chapter Summary
This chapter provided an overview of computer programming, the Java
programming language and its characteristics, and the steps of the program
development cycle. The Java platform allows you to build many types of pro-
grams, including console applications, windowed applications, applets, servlets,
Web services, and beans. The chapter also introduced you to object-oriented
programming and design concepts and the use of objects, methods, attributes,
and events. You learned how object-oriented programming and design facilitates
rapid application development and how the concepts of encapsulation, inheri-
tance, and polymorphism create reusable, stable programs that are easier and
faster to design. Finally, the chapter reviewed the components of the Java
Software Development Kit (SDK), including the Java compiler, the Java Virtual
Machine, APIs, and the Java Applet Viewer, as well as other development
tools, such as value-added text editors (VATEs) and integrated development
environments (IDEs).
