Java Programming: Introductory (E-Course)

Even non-programmers can make Java their first programming language with this excellent introduction "Java Programming Introductory is designed to guide you, the beginning programmer, in developing applications and applets using the Java programming language. It introduces you to object-oriented programming concepts along with the Java syntax you need to implement them." "In this book, you build applications and applets from the bottom up, rather than using prewritten objects. This book will teach you how to create and modify simple Java language applications and applets and provide you with the tools to create more complex examples."--Jacket This book distinguishes itself from other Java titles in that it does not assume prior programming experience and introduces object-oriented techniques early and explores them extensively. The book is interspersed with step-by-step exercises illustrating the concepts as they are explained. Java applications, using JDK, are introduced prior to applets so a user has a more thorough understanding of the programming process. Java applications are built from the beginning, rather than having the user manipulate pre-written objects. This text is intended for a first programming course, using Java as the language. Students are exposed to object-oriented programming concepts along with the Java syntax to implement them.
