Java Software Solutions: Foundations of Program Design, Updated (With CD-ROM)

Note: You are purchasing a standalone product; MyProgrammingLab does not come packaged with this content. If you would like to purchase both the physical text and MyProgrammingLab search for ISBN-10: 0133796280/ISBN-13: 9780133796285. That package includes ISBN-10: 0133594955/ISBN-13: 9780133594959 and ISBN-10:0133781283 /ISBN-13: 9780133781281.

MyProgrammingLab is not a self-paced technology and should only be purchased when required by an instructor.

Java Software Solutions is intended for use in the Java programming course. It is also suitable for readers interested in introductory Java programming.

Java Software Solutions teaches a foundation of programming techniques to foster well-designed object-oriented software. Heralded for its integration of small and large realistic examples, this worldwide best-selling text emphasizes building solid problem-solving and design skills to write high-quality programs.

MyProgrammingLab for Java Software Solutions is a total learning package. MyProgrammingLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program that truly engages students in learning. It helps students better prepare for class, quizzes, and exams—resulting in better performance in the course—and provides educators a dynamic set of tools for gauging individual and class progress.

Teaching and Learning Experience

To provide a better teaching and learning experience, for both instructors and students, this program will:

• Personalize Learning: Through the power of practice and immediate personalized feedback, MyProgrammingLab helps students fully grasp the logic, semantics, and syntax of programming.
• Help Students Build Sound Program-Development Skills: A software methodology is introduced early and revisited throughout the text to ensure that students build sound program-development skills.
• Enhance Learning with In-text Features: A variety of features in each chapter help motivate learning.
• Provide Opportunities to Practice Design Skills and Implement Java Programs:A wealth of end-of-chapter programming projects and chapter review features help reinforce key concepts.
• Support Instructors and Students: Resources to support learning are available on the Companion website and Instructor Resource Center.

The Update to the second edition has been published to provide readers with additional resources to enhance their learning. It includes a CD-ROM with various development environments, the book's example code, as well as other supplemental material. The typeface for of some of the code has been redesigned to make it more legible. Lastly, the update includes all corrections that have been discovered since the second edition's publication. The main content and flow of the update will remain as it is. This book teaches beginning programmers how to design and implement high-quality object-oriented software. A chapter on input and output (Ch. 7) explains the class library used earlier in the book and explores other I/O issues such as streams, file I/O, and network-based I/O. Applets and applications are intertwined throughout to demonstrate computing concepts: applets, introduced in Ch. 2, build on the excitement of the web, while applications allow readers to gain a clear understanding of programming concepts. An optional "Graphics Track" runs throughout the book to reinforce the primary themes of each chapter by using graphical examples and discussing new graphics material. Java Software Solutions teaches Java to readers without any programming experience using a balance of applications and applets. It will be of particular interest to those who are looking to take advantage of the graphical elements of Java. /*@ISBN = 0-201-72597-5 @MAINCAT = Programming Languages @SUBCAT = Java @DATALINE1 = 2001, 780 pages, 7 1/4 x 9 1/8 @DATALINE2 = PaperBound w/CD-ROM, $68.00k*/
