You are purchasing a standalone product; MyProgrammingLab does not come packaged with this content. If you would like to purchase both the physical text and MyProgrammingLab search for 0133813460/ 9780133813463. That package includes 0133761312/ 9780133761313 and 0133762513 / 9780133762518. MyProgrammingLab should only be purchased when required by an instructor.
This text is intended for a 1-, 2-, or 3-semester CS1 course sequence. Comprehensive coverage of Java and programming make this a useful reference for beginning programmers and IT professionals.
Daniel Liang teaches concepts of problem-solving and object-oriented programming using a fundamentals-first approach. Beginning programmers learn critical problem-solving techniques then move on to grasp the key concepts of object-oriented, GUI programming, advanced GUI and Web programming using Java. Liang approaches Java GUI programming using JavaFX, not only because JavaFX is much simpler for new Java programmers to learn and use but because it has replaced Swing as the new GUI tool for developing cross-platform-rich Internet applications on desktop computers, on hand-held devices, and on the Web. Additionally, for instructors, JavaFXprovides a better teaching tool for demonstrating object-oriented programming.
Teaching and Learning Experience
To provide a better teaching and learning experience, for both instructors and students, this program
Fundamentals-First Approach Basic programming concepts are introduced on control statements, loops, functions, and arrays before object-oriented programming is discussed. Problem-Driven The examples and exercises throughout the book emphasize problem solving and foster the concept of developing reusable components and using them to create practical projects. A Superior Pedagogical Design that Fosters Student Interes Key concepts are reinforced with objectives lists, introduction and chapter overviews, easy-to-follow examples, chapter summaries, review questions, programming exercises, and interactive self-tests. The Most Extensive Instructor and Student Support Package The author maintains a website at www.pearsonhighered.com/liang that includes multiple interactive resources.
