Many of you have provided feedback on earlier editions of this book, and your comments and suggestions have greatly improved the book. This edition has been substantially enhanced in presentation, organization, examples, exercises, and supplements. We have: Reorganized sections and chapters to present the subjects in a more logical order. Included many new interesting examples and exercises to stimulate interests. Created animations for algorithms and data structures to visually demonstrate the concepts.
This book teaches programming in a problem-driven way that focuses on problem solving rather than syntax. We make introductory programming interesting by using thought provoking problems in a broad context. The central thread of early chapters is on problem solving. Appropriate syntax and library are introduced to enable readers to write programs for solving the problems. To support the teaching of programming in a problem driven way, the book provides a wide variety of problems at various levels of difficulty to motivate students. To appeal to students in all majors, the problems cover many application areas, including math, science, business, financial, gaming, animation, and multimedia.
The book focuses on fundamentals first by introducing basic programming concepts and techniques before designing custom classes. The fundamental concepts and tecnique3s of loops, methods, and arrays are the foundation for programming. Building this strong foundation prepares students to learn object oriented programming and advanced Java programming.
This comprehensive version covers fundamentals of programming, object oriented programming, GUI programming, algorithms and data structures, concurrency, networking, internationalization, advanced GUI, database, and Web programming. It is designed to prepare students to become proficient Java programmers. A brief version (Introduction to Java Programming, Brief Version, Ninth Edition) is available for a first course on programming, commonly known as CS1. The brief version contains the first 20 chapters of the comprehensive version.
