About this title

Synopsis

This text is intended for a 1-, 2-, or 3-semester CS1 course sequence.

 

 

Daniel Liang teaches concepts of problem-solving and object-oriented programming using a fundamentals-first approach. Beginning programmers learn critical problem-solving techniques then move on to grasp the key concepts of object-oriented, GUI programming, advanced GUI and Web programming using Java.

 

 

Teaching and Learning Experience

To provide a better teaching and learning experience, for both instructors and students, this program offers:

• Fundamentals-First Approach: Basic programming concepts are introduced on control statements, loops, functions, and arrays before object-oriented programming is discussed.

• Problem-Driven Motivation: The examples and exercises throughout the book emphasize problem solving and foster the concept of developing reusable components and using them to create practical projects.

• A Superior Pedagogical Design that Fosters Student Interest: Key concepts are reinforced with objectives lists, introduction and chapter overviews, easy-to-follow examples, chapter summaries, review questions, programming exercises, and interactive self-tests.

• The Most Extensive Instructor and Student Support Package Available: The author maintains a website at http://www.pearsonglobaleditions.com/Liang/ that includes multiple interactive resources.
