About this product

Product Information

Appropriate for introductory Computer Science courses using Java (CS1 with Java) and other introductory programming courses using Java offered in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, CIS, MIS, IT, and Business departments. Best-selling author, Walter Savitch, 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 through coverage of the Swing libraries and event driven programming. The Java coverage is a concise, accessible introduction that covers key language features. Thorough early coverage of objects is included, with an emphasis on applications over applets. The author includes a highly flexible format that allows instructors and readers to adapt coverage of topics to their preferred order. Although the text does cover such more advanced topics as inheritance, exception handling, and the Swing libraries, it starts from the beginning, and it does first teach traditional, more basic techniques, such as algorithm design. *NEW - Coverage of Java2, Suns latest version of the Java language includes significant optional coverage of the Swing GUI libraries, a chapter on applets, and a chapter on graphics. - Exposes students to state-of-the-art features of Java. *NEW - Optional coverage of linked data structures. - Prepares Computer Science students for topics addressed in subsequent CS2/data structures courses. *NEW - Earlier coverage of arrays. - Allows for either early or late coverage of arrays. Since most instructors prefer early coverage of arrays, the array material was move up in this edition to allow even earlier coverage of arrays if that is desired. *NEW - Additional self-test exercises, programming exercises, and figures. - Give students more practice applying the concepts in the text. *NEW - CD-ROM with every copy of the text. Includes all the source code for programs and classes, source code for additional examples, and Borland JBuilder ! 3.5 Foundation software. - Students can run and manipulate the source code from all the examples in the book as well as from additional examples. Students have access to the JBuilder professional integrated development environment/compiler free of charge that they can use to complete programming assignments. The JBuilder software works with Windows, Linux, and Solaris platforms. *Flexible design. Chapters can be covered in a number of different orders. Each chapter has a Prerequisites section indicating what material must be covered before using this chapter and the Preface includes a chart showing a variety of chapter ordering options. - Highly flexible book allows instructors and readers to adapt coverage of topics to their order of preference. *Numerous programming examples and programming exercises. Most examples include program code annotations. - Explains important problem-solving concepts to students within the context of the code itself. *Complete explanations of Java language features. With sample code and entire programs. *- Students are able to run manipulate the source code from the CD-ROM and from the Companion Website. *Programming Tips and Gotcha sections. - Provide suggestions for good programming practices and identify common programming problems and pitfalls. *Self-Test Questions with answers. Follow important topics throughout each chapter. - Help students check their level of understanding. *Summary Boxes. Summarize key Java features and problem-solving techniques. * SavitchIn console input class. Explained in Chapter 2 and source code provided on CD-ROM and from Companion Website. - Provides easy-to-use console input for students, since, unlike other languages, Java does not have any simple console input facility.
