For almost a decade, Java Software Solutions has been the worldwide best-selling textbook for introduction to programming using the Java language. This text is renowned for providing a solid foundation in programming techniques that leads to well-designed object-oriented software. The authors’ emphasis on building solid problem solving and solid design skills is bolstered by their integration of a multitude of small and large realistic programming examples.

  • Takes an early objects approach (using and writing classes covered before arrays) with a natural progression of object-oriented design in which students learn to use objects prior to learning to write them.
  • Incorporates a clear, accessible, and accurate writing style to illustrate programming concepts.
  • Introduces a Software Methodology early-on and revisits it throughout to ensure students develop sound program development skills.
  • Covers Graphics and GUI issues in an optional Graphics Track section at the end of each chapter. The material covered in each Graphics Track section relates to material in the chapter, and can be covered along with the chapter, as stand-alone material on GUIs, or completely skipped with no loss of continuity.
  • Includes a large number of programming examples, both small and large, presented in clear, color-coded listings. Each example includes the program output, a sample run, or screen shot display.
  • Uses syntax diagrams to identify the valid forms for a statement or construct when discussing syntactic elements of the Java language.
  • Provides a wealth of end-of-chapter programming projects, varying in level of difficulty, to allow students to practice their design and implementation of Java programs.
  • Available with access to MyCodeMate, Addison-Wesley’s online introductory programming resource.

     

    For students, MyCodeMate is a resource to help them understand and master programming skills. It provides a wide range of tools students can use to help them learn programming concepts, prepare for exams and get a better grade. For instructors, MyCodeMate is a resource for assigning and managing homework problems.
