Java Software Solutions: Foundations of Program Design, Fifth Edition

Lewis & Loftus

 

Java Software Solutions is the proven textbook for teaching beginning programmers how to design and implement high-quality software using the Java programming language. Instructors trust it for its focus on developing problem-solving and design skills alongside solid programming techniques. Students love it for its clear writing and wealth of realistic programming examples.

 

Highlighted features

· Takes a mainstream approach to presenting objects, with a natural progression of object-oriented design in which students learn to use objects before learning to write them

· Is fully compatible with Java 5.0

· Includes an optional Graphics Track–designed to reinforce the main theme of each chapter by using graphical examples and discussing new graphics material

· Is loaded with Examples–fully implemented color-coded examples, intertwining small, readily understandable examples with larger, more realistic ones

· Provides more opportunity for practice with extensively revised end-of-chapter questions, exercises, and projects
