Teach Yourself Java in 21 Minutes

Department of Computer Science, Lund Institute of Technology


Author: Patrik Persson Contact: [email protected]

This is a brief tutorial in Java for you who already know


another object-oriented language, such as Simula or C++.
The tutorial is organized as a number of examples showing
the details of Java. The intention is to give you enough
information about the Java language to be able to follow the
course in real-time programming.
There are books claiming to teach you Java in 21 days, but
since you already know object-orientation your learning
time will probably be closer to 21 minutes hence the title.
