Preface

This is the first lesson in a new miniseries on Java data structures and the Java Collections Framework.

The purpose of this miniseries is to help you learn the essential features of Object-Oriented data structures in Java using the Collections Framework.

Viewing tip

You may find it useful to open another copy of this lesson in a separate browser window. That will make it easier for you to scroll back and forth among the different listings while you are reading about them.

Recommended supplementary reading

I recommend that you also study the other lessons in my extensive collection of online Java tutorials. You will find those lessons published at Gamelan.com.
