This best-selling text by Lewis and Loftus provides an introduction to both the Java programming language and the techniques for writing high-quality programs. This book provides an object-oriented approach that naturally progresses in a way that beginning programmers easily understand by first using objects, then writing clases. The book is also known for providing an introduction to programming practices that leads to well-designed software solutions. The use of graphical user interfaces and event processing is covered in optional, self-contained Graphics Track sections at the end of each chapter.

This book also comes with Addison-Wesley's CodeMate. This online program competency builder transforms a student's reading experience into a dynamic programming environment with a click of a mouse. CodeMate allows students to view, compile, run, and edit programming problems directly from the textbook without installing a compiler.

• An object-oriented approach to teaching Java for a CS1 course.

• Optional Graphics Tracks through the text are designed to reinforce the main theme of each chapter by using graphical examples and discussing new graphics material (these sections can be skipped without losing continuity).

• Includes key boxes, in-depth focus boxes, and code call out conventions to reinforce key concepts and practices.

• Applets and applications are intertwined throughout the book to demonstrate computing concepts—applets build on the excitement of the Web, while applications allow students to gain a clear understanding of programming concepts.

• Contains extensive reference material.

• Includes access to Addison-Wesley's CodeMate, an online program competency builder.

• Full-color design: Pedagogical use of color makes programming ideas easily identifiable and understandable.

• UML: Unified Modeling Language is used throughout to illustrate program designs.

• Java Keyboard Input: The “real” Java I/O approach is covered earlier, while still capitalizing on the helpful abstraction of the Keyboard class.

• Additional material: Expanded coverage of graphical user interfaces, object serialization, and other topics.

• More Exercises, Programming Projects, and Review Questions: Almost 50% more of this material.

• Compatible with the Java 2 Platform, version 1.4: Works with the latest release of Java, and is downward compatible with previous releases.

• Supplement package: Unparalleled supplements, many new to this edition. The CD in the back of this book includes the example source code and Java development environments. Other supplements, including a brand new lab manual and powerful test generator software, are available online.

• JavaPlace: All copies of this book include six-month access to JavaPlace.net, the only site devoted exclusively for introductory Java education.

• More examples integrated into the general flow of the text.
