Written by a best-selling author, this concise, accessible introduction covers key language features as well as uses a conversational style to teach programmers problem solving and programming techniques with Java. Readers are introduced to object-oriented programming and important computer science concepts such as testing and debugging techniques, program style, inheritance, and exception handling. It includes thorough coverage of the Swing libraries and event driven programming. Thorough early coverage of objects is included, with an emphasis on applications over applets. Java: An Introduction to Computer Science and Programming starts from the beginning and teaches traditional, more basic techniques, such as algorithm design. The author includes a highly flexible format that allows instructors and readers to adapt coverage of topics to their preferred order. Covers Java2, Sun's latest version of the Java language and contains a flexible design. Appropriate for readers interested in an introduction to Computer Science using Java (CS1 with Java) and other introductory programming courses.
