From the Back Cover:

This text adopts the "fundamentals-first" strategy, proceeding at a steady pace through all the necessary and important basic concepts, and building up to object-oriented. programming. Students then move to using the object-oriented approach to build GUI applications and applets with exception handling, I/O, data structures, internationalization, multithreading, multimedia, and networking. Every chapter has been completely revised, malting for concise reading that is engaging, and at the same tune, easy to understand. Suited for beginning and advanced students from two-semester first-year programming courses to one-semester courses in Java as a second language. This book has also been used in short training courses for experienced programmers.

Synopsis:

For CS1 (in Java), introductory Java programming, and intermediate Java programming courses offered in Computer Science, Engineering and Business programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Designed for a first or second course in Java programming, this text covers Java 2-the newest version of this programming language, principles of programming, and core Java features. A step-by-step approach first lays a sound foundation on programming elements, control statements, and methods; then introduces object-oriented programming; moves on to graphics programming; and concludes with advanced features that enable students to develop comprehensive programs. Representative examples, abundant pedagogy, and multiple exercises provide students with an outstanding introduction to Java.
