Synopsis
This is an update of the only true "objects first" CS1 in Java book so that it is now fully compatible with the latest version of the language: Java 2 (a.k.a. JDK 1.2, and formerly referred to as Java 1.2). The book uses object-oriented concepts from the very beginning -- classes, objects, and messages are introduced in Chapter 1 -- and develops them throughout. The authors also provide an early introduction to testing, covering test drivers, debugging, and test case selection.
Features
All code is revised and tested to be compatible with Java 2 (and Java 1.1)
Contains optional supplements covering graphical user interfaces (GUIs) at the end of each chapter
Includes a chapter with three robust applications that use the text's class design procedure and allow students to tie the material together

From the Back Cover
Java's support for GUI and network programming makes a great setting for diverse programming examples: a calculator, a strategy game, reading the Dow Jones from Yahoo!, a Web surveyor application, scheduling songs for a rock-and-roll radio station, as well as traditional payroll and student GPA computations. Working with these and other examples, students learn to think like a programmer, analyze problems, devise solutions, design classes, and write code.
Features
Uses the necessary features of Java 1.1 while teaching CS1 concepts. Uses object-oriented concepts from the very beginning--classes, objects, and messages are all introduced in Chapter 1--and develops them throughout. Applies a consistent class design procedure, usable by beginners. Contains graphic user interface (GUI) supplements in each chapter. Provides an early introduction to testing, covering test drivers, debugging, and test case selection. Includes a chapter with three robust applications--a LOGO turtle, a Web surveyor, and Mancala (a strategy game)--which use the text's class design procedure and allow the students to tie the material together.
