Introduction to Programming with Java: A Problem Solving Approach

by John Dean, Raymond Dean

This book teaches the reader how to write programs using Java. It does so with a unique approach that combines fundamentals first with objects early. The book transitions smoothly through a carefully selected set of procedural programming fundamentals to object-oriented fundamentals. During this early transition and beyond, the book emphasizes problem solving. For example, Chapter 2 is devoted to algorithm development, Chapter 8 is devoted to program design, and problem-solving sections appear throughout the book. Problem-solving skills are fostered with the help of an interactive, iterative presentation Here's the problem. How can we solve it How can we improve the solutionSome key features conversational, easy-to-follow writing style.Many executable code examples that clearly and efficiently illustrate key concepts.Extensive use of UML class diagrams to specify problem organization.Simple GUI programming early, in an optional standalone graphics track.Well-identified alternatives for altering the book's sequence to fit individual needs.Well-developed projects in six different academic disciplines, with a handy summary.Detailed customizable PowerPointTM lecture slides, with icon-keyed hidden notes.Student to compiler software - for Sun's Java2 SDK toolkit, Helios's TextPad, Eclipse, NetBeans, and BlueJ.TextPad tutorial.Eclipse tutorials.Textbook errata.All textbook example programs and associated resource files.Instructor PowerPoint lecture slides with hidden notes.
