About this title

From the Back Cover:

This second edition of Java, Java, Java offers a robust, accessible, and flexible problem-solving perspective. The use of Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams throughout the text, strongly emphasizes object-oriented design. This book assists students and professionals with their most challenging problem as beginning programmers: object abstraction, or how to use interacting objects and methods.

Using a top-down approach, the author focuses on problem decomposition and program design from the beginning. This methodology―along with its lucid and engaging exercises and analogies―sets this book apart. Morelli introduces advanced Java features including GUI's (e.g., AWT and Swing), exceptions, threads, files, and sockets. The adaptable and accessible style allows instructors to choose which advanced concepts to teach to introductory students, while intermediate-level programmers can benefit from its thorough, advanced feature coverage.

Java, Java, Java's Numerous Distinguishing Innovations:

• Emphasizes early OO design concepts such as inheritance and information hiding.
• Uses UML diagrams throughout to emphasize object-oriented design.
• Features GUI elements and applets to captivate and maintain the reader's interest while introducing real-world examples.
• Incorporates action-learning techniques such as "Hands on Learning" sections, CyberPet examples. and drop-in boxes on effective design, programming and debugging tips, and Java language rules.
• Covers advanced features of Java: GUI's, graphics and drawing; exceptions; recursive problem solving;. threads and concurrent programming; files, streams, and input/output techniques; sockets and networking; and data structures.
• Includes a Companion Website with extensive supplementary resources, such as a Study Guide, PowerPoint slides, and Java code www.prenhall.com/morelli

Synopsis:

For CS1 (in Java) and introductory Java programming courses offered in Computer Science, Engineering, CIS, MIS, IT and Business programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level. With a focus on object-oriented problem solving, this revision of a popular book takes an "objects early" approach to teaching Java, with the assumption that teaching beginners the "big picture" early gives them more time to master the principles of object-oriented programming. The third edition has been revised and rewritten to provide students with the most accessible presentation of cutting-edge Java topics. Its running example revisits a collection of games and puzzle examples in several chapters, and introduces students to simple object-oriented programming principles, such as inheritance, randomness, animation, threads, and networking. The CyberPet examples from previous editions continue to be available on the companion website. Chapters 0 (Computers, Objects, and Java) and 1 (Java Program Design and Development) are substantially reorganized and rewritten.

It reduces the pace with which new concepts are introduced to students, and simplifies the treatment of object-oriented (OO) and UML concepts, and moves some of the more challenging OO topics, such as polymorphism, to a new Chapter 7. Coverage of the new Java 5.0 Scanner class, introduced in Chapter 2 are used to perform simple input operations. Independent introductions to both a command-line interface and a graphical user interface (GUI) now provided in a completely rewritten Chapter 4 (Input/Output: Designing the User Interface) that enables instructors to choose the type of interface that best suits their teaching style.
