Synopsis

There are two components in the design of this text. Both of them are reflected in the title of the book. The first is "Learn to Program" and the other is "Java". Students will be taught programming fundamentals such as data structures, operations, compiling and executing programs. The second component focuses on the teaching of Java as a programming language: program structures; data types and declaration; expressions, statements, and operators; control flow and arrays; inputs and outputs; methods; object-oriented programming; encapsulation and polymorphism. The text also covers the Java Application Programming Interface (API). This text may be used as a basic text for teaching programming fundamentals and for teaching Java as a first language in programming. It assumes students have no knowledge on how software programs are written.
