As in their successful C++ text (C++: An Introduction to Computing), the authors introduce key ideas behind computing with Java and object-oriented programming in an intuitive and non-intimidating way. This text not only teaches text-based programming, but also graphical/internet programming. In addition, this text provides an introduction to computer science as a discipline.

Store Description

Welcome to the Solr Books & Books4Cause AbeBooks page! We are a social venture dedicated to supporting social causes, education, and community through a business model. Books4Cause doesn?t raise funds or rely on government grants. All of our funding comes from selling a portion of used books donated to us. Our main goal is to recirculate books back into the hands of people who will read and treasure them. We support both local and global initiatives. Through partnering with the African Library Project, we have built over 120 libraries in nursery schools, elementary schools, high schools, and universities across 18 countries in Africa. Our pop-up free library program in Chicago distributes free books in under-served neighborhoods throughout the city, giving necessary resources to children, adults, and families who otherwise may not have been able to access them.
