Welcome to <em>Java for Python Programmers</em>.
This short ebook is an ongoing project to help Computer Science students who have had one or two semesters of Python learn the Java programming language.
If you are not a part of that audience you may still find this a useful way to learn about Java.
This book is written using the build on what you know philosophy.
In order to help you learn Java I will start with a Python example and then implement the example in Java.
Along the way we will examine the strengths, weaknesses and differences between those two languages.

<p>
This book does not attempt to replace the many good Java reference books that are available, in fact I use this in my course along with <url href="https://horstmann.com/corejava/index.html" visual="https://horstmann.com/corejava/index.html">Cay Horstman’s “Core Java” volumes</url>.
Please feel free to use this book for yourself, or if it fits a class you are teaching you are welcome to use this as a resource for your own class.
