Java By Abstraction: A Client-View Approach

by Hamzeh Roumani

For any computer science instructor who has lost first-year students to boredom or frustration, Java by A Client-View Approach comes as a welcome breath of fresh an introduction to Java programming that encourages students to build interesting applications from its first page. Instead of following the conventional approach to CSE, Roumani presents the fundamentals of object-oriented programming through an “objects-first” model. It's like learning to drive a car before opening the hood and examining the a way to show students that with just a little practice, they can program in Java with ease. Intended for use in a first course in object-oriented programming in undergraduate computer science or computer engineering programs, this book helps students develop system thinking and a deeper understanding of the underlying concepts of Java programming. By urging students to build meaningful apps from the beginning, this innovative approach engages them more effectively and quickly.
