This ground breaking text uses the Java language to teach the first course in programming. Decker and Hirshfield have built a strong reputation for computer science texts with THE ANALYTICAL ENGINE and THE OBJECT CONCEPT. Java, the new programming language for the Internet, offers cross-platform portability (i.e., it works on IBM, Macintosh, Unix, etc.) and the ability to deliver interactive applets, such as animated games, over the World Wide Web. Decker and Hirshfield use Java to introduce students to object-oriented programming without the many pitfalls of C++.
