Synopsis

An "Introduction to Computer Science Using Java" by Kamin and Mickunas is designed for a CS1/Intro to Programming course in which java is used. The authors emphasize the process of programming, which involves teaching students how to develop correct, efficient, well-constructed and stylish programs. This edition has been overhauled to teach objects early and aggressively. In order to enable this approach, the authors have developed their own library of classes that they provide with the book, called CSLib. GUI-based applications are taught at the beginning of the book and applets and the AWT are introduced later. One of the unique aspects of the text are the debugging sections. In appropriate places throughout the text, the authors provide students with information on debugging. In addition, there are such pedagogical aids as warning signs, and wide range of exercises. They have also added additional quick review exercises throughout the chapter.
