Modern Software Development Using Java

Now updated for the latest release of Java, the Second Edition of Modern Software Development Using Java continues to blaze a new path for todayï's CS2 students. Tymann and Schneiderï's contemporary approach focuses on what students need to learn in the CS2 course in order to appreciate what is truly important today in the areas of software design and development. This text covers such current software development ideas as object-oriented design, UML, data structure libraries, net-centric programming, threads, and GUIs, all presented in a way that is fully accessible and motivating. The new edition has been fully revised to take advantage of the new features in Java 5.0, and all material is Java 6.0 compliant.

Paul Tymann is Professor and Chair of the Computer Science Department at Rochester Institute of Technology. His research interests include bioinformatics, operating systems, networking, parallel computing, and object-oriented programming and design.

G. Michael Schneider is a Professor Emeritus of Mathematics and Computer Science at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota and a Visiting Professor of Computer Science at Columbia University in New York. His interests include parallel processing, computer networks, and computer science education. He has written textbooks on software development, data structures, computer organization, and a breadth-first overview of computer science. Schneider was a member of the committee that authored the ACM/IEEE Computing Curriculum 2001. He has received Fulbright Grants to teach computer science curriculum development in Mauritius, Malaysia, Nepal and Mongolia.
