About this title

Synopsis

This concise book adopts a visual approach to programming. The authors use a spiral approach to programming concepts; introducing concepts simply early on, then in a more sophisticated way later. The authors have been careful to put together a book that covers the powerful features of Java and presents the language as both a fun and useful tool.

From the Back Cover

This latest edition of Java for Students has been fully updated to include the new features of Java 5.0. The authors’ GUI-based approach helps students to build their programming skills by producing exciting and dynamic graphical output.

 

Hallmark features include:

 

Ø     A focus on applications and GUI development with Swing.

Ø     Graphics are used throughout to illustrate programming principles.

Ø     UML 2.0 is used for modelling and design.

Ø     A wealth of exercises and self-test questions with solutions.

Ø     A CD-ROM containing the JDK 1.5 and source code for all programs.
