Riassunto

This introductory programming in Java book offers a truly object-oriented approach, introducing the concepts of object, class, and message as early as the first chapter. The code has been thoroughly updated to the Java 2 platform. This object-oriented approach is used throughout the text, as students learn the fundamentals of object-oriented programming along with the basics of imperative programming. The authors place a strong emphasis on the software development process, presenting a clear and usable procedure for solving problems by developing classes that is used throughout the text. In addition, each chapter has an optional supplemental section that introduces graphical user interface (GUI) concepts through the medium of the Java AWT.

Java's support for GUI and network programming makes a great setting for diverse programming examples: a calculator, a strategy game, reading the Dow Jones from Yahoo!, a Web surveyor application, scheduling songs for a radio station, as well as traditional payroll and student GPA computations. Working with these and other examples, students learn to think like a programmer, analyze problems, devise solutions, design classes, and write code.

Dalla quarta di copertina

This introductory programming book, thoroughly updated for the Java 2 release, offers a truly object-oriented focus. The concepts of object, class, and message are presented as early as Chapter 1. This object-oriented approach is then used throughout as students learn the fundamentals of object-oriented programming along with the basics of imperative programming. The authors place a strong emphasis on the software development process, presenting a clear and usable problem-solving procedure for developing classes that is used throughout the book.

Features:

• All code is revised and tested to be compatible with Java 2 (and Java 1.1).
• Includes a new, optional section that introduces Swing.
• Uses object-oriented concepts from the very beginning, and develops them throughout.
• Contains optional graphical user interface (GUI) supplements in each chapter.
• Provides an early introduction to testing that includes test drivers, debugging, and test case selection.
• Includes a chapter with three robust applications that use the text's class design procedure, allowing students to think like programmers and tie the material together.
