About this title

Synopsis:

JAVA FOR KIDS - 11th Edition is a beginning programming tutorial consisting of over 400 pages explaining (in simple, easy-to-follow terms) how to build a Java application. Students learn about project design, object-oriented programming, console applications, graphics applications and many elements of the Java language. Numerous examples are used to demonstrate every step in the building process. The tutorial also includes several detailed computer projects for students to build and try. These projects include a number guessing game, a card game, an allowance calculator, a state capitals game, Tic-Tac-Toe, a simple drawing program, and simple video game. JAVA FOR KIDS is presented using a combination of over 400 pages of notes, playful colored illustrations and actual Java examples. This teacher or parent facilitated material should be understandable to kids aged 12 and up. No previous programming experience is necessary, but familiarity with doing common tasks using a computer operating system (simple editing, file maintenance, understanding directory structures, working on the Internet) is expected. JAVA FOR KIDS - 11TH EDITION requires a minimum of either Windows 10, MACos, or Linux. You will also need to download NetBeans IDE 11 from Apache's website and JDK11 from Oracle's website for the computer platform you are using.
