About this title

Synopsis:

Appropriate for introductory Computer Science courses using Java (CS1 with Java) and other introductory programming courses using Java.

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.
