From the Back Cover
With Horstmann... learning Java 2 is like money in the bank!
"COMPUTING CONCEPTS WITH JAVA 2 ESSENTIALS, 2/E is a great, pedagogically excellently thought-out text... Horstmann clearly must be a perfectionist (a man on my wavelength) because one quickly sees that this book was crafted, not just written. Furthermore, one senses the invested effort to determine how to best teach programming to new students." Laurence Vanhelsuwé, JavaWorld - February 1999.
Maybe it's the easy-to-read style... or the use of a strategic subset of the Java library...or even the early introduction of objects... Whatever the reason, professors and students find that Horstmann provides the most accessible introduction to programming using Java 2. With its focus on problem solving design of solutions, and fundamentals of programming using Java 2, they'll quickly learn how to apply these skills in developing exciting, working program, but more importantly, they will be learning the essential concepts of computing.
New Features of the Second Edition
- Objects Early! The concept of objects is very carefully introduced and used early in the text through students are not required to write objects till they have developed their knowledge base further.
- Now fully updated to Java 2! Java 2 improvements are found throughout the text, making the exposition of many topics simpler and more logical.
- Students learn the concepts and principles of computing using a strategic subset of Java.
- All examples have been completely rewritten to reflect the true uses of Java as an object-oriented language!
- Classes are introduced early to provide students with a more natural Java programming style. This early introduction also prepares them to write graphical programs.
- New chapters are included on event handling and Swing user interface design.
- The programming code from the book can be downloaded at http:/www.wiley.com/college/horstmann.

Computing Concepts with Java 2 Essentials (2nd Edition)
Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
