This tutorial provides an introduction to the Java language and object-oriented programming that is designed for embedded systems developers who are familiar with the C-language. It is notable for its application of high-level, object-oriented techniques to the embedded domain, its consistent use of UML notation, and its sound exposition of how to apply design patterns. The main aspects of Java are covered in a carefully ordered sequence that facilitates learning and experimentation. The CD-ROM features an extended demonstration project that involves the reader in every development aspect, from the top-level design to the last detail of the coding. The final chapters demonstrate how to use the Java Native Interface and how to construct a virtual machine in order to access the target hardware. This book is an intermediate/advanced text written for any developer with a background in C or some Java that wants to learn Java, understand object-oriented concepts and the unified modelling language, or wants to understand how to design and implement a small compiler suitable for embedded systems.
