This 14-chapter introduction to programming with Java at the CS-1 level, uses multimedia-based programs as a means of instruction. Multimedia is a combination of various media such as text, audio, video, images, graphics and animation. With this book, students will learn Java using programs that draw graphics and images, perform animation, read and play music files, display video, and more. This text uses clear explanations and illustrations, and does not require prior programming experience, knowledge of graphics, or other media API's.

Progamming with Java: A Multimedia Approach covers topics such as variables, data types, literals, operators, creating objects, Java 2D classes, user-defined classes, inheritance, interfaces, exception handling, GUI programming, generics and collections, and multithreaded programming. It also provides introductions to arrays and the scanner class.

TuringsCraft CodeLab access is available for adopting professors. Custom CodeLab: CodeLab is a web-based interactive programming exercise service that has been customized to accompany this text. It provides numerous short exercises, each focused on a particular programming idea or language construct. The student types in code and the system immediately judges its correctness, offering hints when the submission is incorrect.
