More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Tony Gaddis’s accessible, step-by-step presentation helps beginning students understand the important details necessary to become skilled programmers at an introductory level. Gaddis motivates the study of both programming skills and the Java programming language by presenting all the details needed to understand the “how” and the “why”—but never losing sight of the fact that most beginners struggle with this material. His approach is both gradual and highly accessible, ensuring that students understand the logic behind developing high-quality programs.
In Starting Out with Java: Early Objects, Gaddis looks at objects—the fundamentals of classes and methods—before covering procedural programming. As with all Gaddis texts, clear and easy-to-read code listings, concise and practical real-world examples, and an abundance of exercises appear in every chapter.

Great Text
25 Jan 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This text was required for an intro online Java class. This class had zero instructor interaction, just the syllabus telling us what to read and a list of what assignments were and their due date.
I was able to obtain a A just be reading this book on my own. I am now able to program in Java at an acceptable level for this level of course. Any book that can accomplish that on its own is excellent in my opinion.

Wonderful.

Very well written book for beginners. I have never programmed with Java before and this book does not assume you have. The book slowly builds you up to more advance levels of Java programming. I am looking forward to using this book next semester and learning even more.
If your professor leaves something out, the book does not and it will help you quickly catch up if you miss a day.

Early objects, late graphics.
5 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback
I teach AP Computer Science and recently looked at just about any book I could find for teaching Java. This book may appeal to those that want an early object approach and would like to put off any graphics until much later. This would also be a great book for self-study, as it turned out to be my personal favorite Java book for my own purposes.
Here are some details:
--The book does not rely on any publisher's software package--just the standard Java API (which is good, in my opinion).
--The book does cover parts of Java not included on the AP test, but you can easily use this as an AP text.
--Every example is a complete working program--so they can all be modified, altered, etc.
--Each chapter ends with many review questions and a set of programming challenges.
--Later in the book there is pretty good coverage of GUIs and Applets.
This book is worth looking into. I haven't decided yet to adopt this book for my AP classes, but I'm close. The writing and presentation in this book appear to be much better than in any book specifically aimed at AP Computer Science classes.
