This first truly innovative introduction to Java programming by world-renowned teacher and computer scientist Andy van Dam and Kate Sanders brings realistic, object-oriented programming to the forefront. This early foray into object-oriented programming, not simply objects, from encapsulation through polymorphism supports the real-world applications of Java and enforces good, structured programming habits that will stay with students for a lifetime.
Its distinctive graphical approach, replete with graphics-based examples and exercises, provides valuable motivation for first-time programmers and captures students’ attention through visually appealing applications. This book gives students the opportunity to gain realistic experience of writing larger programs that are systems of cooperating objects. It incorporates the newest Java 5.0 features including the standard Scanner class and offers extensive data structures coverage (stacks, queues, linked lists and trees).

From the Back Cover
This principle-driven introduction to programming with Java and its standard Swing graphics library by world-renowned computer science professor Andy van Dam and professor Kate Sanders emphasizes object-oriented design and programming. It covers all important object-oriented programming mechanisms at the beginning of the book-from encapsulation through inheritance, interfaces, and polymorphism. It uses numerous executable examples to teach modularization and other good programming habits that will stay with students for a lifetime. Most of the programming examples and exercises take advantage of the visual appeal of interactive graphics to provide essential motivation for first-time programmers.
With Object-Oriented Programming in Java: A Graphical Approach, students will:
• Use an approach to learning object-oriented design and programming that has been tested for a decade and used successfully at multiple universities.
• Experience reading and writing non-trivial, interactive programs that are systems of cooperating objects.
• Capitalize on the powerful features of Java 5.0 including Swing class, generics, and static imports.
• Get a good introduction to fundamental data structures (stacks, queues, linked lists and trees) and a complete chapter on design patterns.
"Strong Object-Oriented Design skills in combination with experience working on non-trivial projects are a requirement for succeeding in today’s software industry. Students who follow the approach of this book are bound to be successful later in their software careers; you need only see the number of former Andy van Dam students at current industry powerhouses to believe it!" -Matt Chotin, Sr. Software Engineer, Macromedia and former student of Andy van Dam
"Graphics are a useful motivator because students enjoy graphics far more than text or arithmetic examples, and graphics are inherently object-oriented." -Karl R. Wurst, Worcester State College
"Andy van Dam and Kate Sanders do a great job of hitting Objects first-teaching OO early and letting the procedural stuff come along naturally. I have seen a number of texts that claim they do this, but I haven't seen anyone who does it like these authors do."-Ben Shaffer, University of Northern Iowa

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods.
