Publisher's Synopsis
For CS1 (in Java), introductory Java programming, and intermediate Java programming courses offered in Computer Science, Engineering and Business programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level.
Designed for a first or second course in Java programming, this text covers Java 2-the newest version of this programming language, principles of programming, and core Java features. A step-by-step approach first lays a sound foundation on programming elements, control statements, and methods; then introduces object-oriented programming; moves on to graphics programming; and concludes with advanced features that enable students to develop comprehensive programs. Representative examples, abundant pedagogy, and multiple exercises provide students with an outstanding introduction to Java.
