Fundamentals of Java Programming

Making extensive use of examples, this textbook on Java programming teaches the fundamental skills for getting started in a command-line environment. Meant to be used for a one-semester course to build solid foundations in Java, __Fundamentals of Java Programming__ eschews second-semester content to concentrate on over 180 code examples and 250 exercises. Key object classes (String, Scanner, PrintStream, Arrays, and File) are included to get started in Java programming. The programs are explained with almost line-by-line descriptions, also with chapter-by-chapter coding exercises. Teaching resources include solutions to the exercises, as well as digital lecture slides.
