From the Back Cover

This book is intended for beginning students and readers and does not require any prerequisites. It contains 34 tightly modularized chapters that each present hundreds of examples, exercises, and problems ranging from simple to challenging.

The entire book has been reworked for the second edition, Chapter projects have been changed and updated, and each chapter contains more illustrative examples than the first edition. The following chapters have been added in order to explain important new concepts:

Chapter 13: Project Pet Chorus―Upcasting and Polymorphism
Chapter 22: Project Frog Jump―Graphics and the Swing Set
Chapter 23: Project Artist―A Simple Drawing Program
Chapter 25: Project Potpourri―JButtons, JLabels, JText Fields, and JText Areas

Chapter 27: Project Map―Special Containers
Chapter 31: Project Video Game―Student Projects
Chapter 32: Project Download―Networking

There are two CDs enclosed. The first CD contains solutions to many of the book's questions and problems. The second CD contains the standard version of Microsoft J++ (Version 6.0), which is ideal for beginning students and readers. This is a 90-Day Trial Version, which means that once it is installed on a hard drive, it will expire in 90 days and the installed software, along with the CD, will be rendered unusable. Students should check with their instructors before installing the software on any computer. The CD cannot be replaced and it is not available for individual sale. Prentice Hall will not supply usable CDs for used books purchased at a discount.
