For novice programmers, finding an interesting, practical Java programming reference that doesn't overwhelm them with details and complexity is difficult. Simply Java: An Introduction to Java Programming is an easy-to-follow textbook that guides beginning programmers step-by-step through the process of learning Java. The main obstacle to learning object-oriented programming is the volume of detail that needs to be learned before even the simplest program can be created. This text eliminates extraneous details early on and stresses only concepts students need to know. It teaches classes and objects from the outset, and presents programming as extended problem solving, making it easier to understand. Class design and graphical user interfaces are introduced early, but most of the detail is postponed until after students have a better grasp of objects, classes, and inheritance.
