Computer Science

For courses in Java: Introduction to Programming and Object-Oriented Programming.

Using a fundamentals-first approach, Liang explores the concepts of problem-solving and object-oriented programming. Beginning programmers learn critical problem-solving techniques, then move on to grasp the key concepts of object-oriented and GUI programming using Java 5. Small, simple, and stimulating examples demonstrate concepts and techniques; longer examples are presented in case studies with discussions and line-by-line explanations.

• Logical, supportive presentation – Starts students with essential problem-solving and programming concepts (control statements, methods, and arrays); moves on to object-oriented programming, graphical user interface (GUI), and applets; and finally introduces exception handling, binary I/O, and recursion.

• Early hands-on practice – Enables students to write short, interesting, graphical game programs starting from Chapter 2.

• Exceptionally broad range of carefully chosen examples – Reinforces key concepts with objectives lists, introduction and chapter overviews, easy-to-follow examples, chapter summaries, review questions, programming exercises, and an interactive self-test.

• GRADIANCE online courseware – Utilizes the industry’s most advanced online homework application to give students solutions to even-numbered programming exercises, source code for the examples in the book, online self assessment (w/over 1000 multiple-choice questions) and online homework.

• The most extensive instructor support package available – Includes interactive and animated slides, TestGen (w/over 2000 multiple-choice questions), solutions to all programming exercises, sample exams and supplemental exercises.

http://www.cs.armstrong.edu/liang/intro6e/intro6einstructor.html – Contains:

– Microsoft PowerPoint slides with interactive buttons to view full-color, syntax-highlighted source code and to run programs without leaving the slides

– Sample exams

– Solutions to all the exercises (Students can access the solutions of even-numbered exercises in the book’s companion CD-ROM)

– Web-based quiz generator

– Online quiz.

• Complete coverage on Java collections framework, threads, JavaBeans, advanced GUI components, JDBC, Servlets, JSP, networking, and RMI.

• Practical examples such as computing loan payments, taxes, and printing payroll statements – Replaces pure mathematical examples such as computing deviations and matrix multiplications.

• Case studies—Offers students additional examples for learning the fundamentals of programming, such as writing loops.

• Carefully chosen, easy-to-follow, representative examples—Include a description, source code, sample run, and an example review.

• UML (Unified Modeling Language) graphical notations throughout – Describes classes and their relationships; teaches students design and development of Java programs using the industry standard modeling technique.

• Notes and tips throughout – Offer valuable advice and insight on important aspects of program development..

• Sample exams – Includes multiple-choice questions, correct programming errors, trace programs, and write programs.

• Supplemental exercises with solutions – Give instructors more options when assigning homework or writing exams.

Java Programming (Computer Science)

Regardless of major, students will be able to grasp concepts of problem-solving and programming – thanks to Liang’s ground breaking fundamentals-first approach, which enables students to understand problem solving and core constructs before object-oriented programming.  Liang’s approach has been extended to application-rich programming examples, which go beyond the traditional math-based problems found in most texts. Although students begin using objects early, they are introduced to topics like control statements, methods, and arrays before learning to create classes  Later chapters introduce advanced topics including graphical user interface, exception handling, I/O, and data structures. Small, simple examples demonstrate concepts and techniques while longer examples are presented in case studies with overall discussions and thorough line-by-line explanations. In the Seventh Edition, only standard classes are used.

For a one-semester undergraduate course in operating systems for computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering majors.

 

Operating Systems: Internals and Design Principles is a comprehensive and unified introduction to operating systems. By using several innovative tools, Stallings makes it possible to understand critical core concepts that can be fundamentally challenging. The new edition includes the implementation of web based animations to aid visual learners. At key points in the book, students are directed to view an animation and then are provided with assignments to alter the animation input and analyze the results.

 

The concepts are then enhanced and supported by end-of-chapter case studies of UNIX, Linux and Windows Vista. These provide students with a solid understanding of the key mechanisms of modern operating systems and the types of design tradeoffs and decisions involved in OS design. Because they are embedded into the text as end of chapter material, students are able to apply them right at the point of discussion. This approach is equally useful as a basic reference and as an up-to-date survey of the state of the art.

 

Resources

 

William Stallings has prepared a robust suite of student and instructor resources, including a rich set of Animations to illustrate key functions and algorithms in OS design.  (Icons are placed at relevant points in the text to indicate that an animation is available.) Access them via the Prentice Hall page www.prenhall.com/stallings  or directly at the author's website http://www.williamstallings.com/OS/OS6e.html under the link "Useful Websites."  Visit Stalllings Computer Science Student Resource page at http://williamstallings.com/StudentSupport.html.
