A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Using the Java language, this book introduces the beginning computer science student to the concepts of class, object, and message in the first chapter. 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. Because Java is an object-oriented language that reflects the acquired wisdom of thirty years of programming language design, the book can effectively focus on programming and the process of class design. Early on, a clear, usable procedure for solving problems by developing classes is presented and then used throughout the text.

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 rock-and-roll 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.

Features

• Uses the necessary features of Java 1.1 while teaching CS1 concepts.
• Uses object-oriented concepts from the very beginning--classes, objects, and messages are all introduced in Chapter 1--and develops them throughout.
• Applies a consistent class design procedure, usable by beginners.
• Contains graphic user interface (GUI) supplements in each chapter.
• Provides an early introduction to testing, covering test drivers, debugging, and test case selection.
• Includes a chapter with three robust applications--a LOGO turtle, a Web surveyor, and Mancala (a strategy game)--which use the text's class design procedure and allow the students to tie the material together.

Quatrième de couverture

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.
