Product Description

Product Description

This text takes an objects-first approach to programming and problem solving usingJava. A flexible design allows instructors to choose between Command-Line Interface, Graphical User Interface (GUI), or file input and output.



From the Back Cover
Java, Java, Java- Object-Oriented Problem Solving offers a robust, accessible, and flexible problem-solving approach to Java programming by introducing objects early to ensure that readers can benefit from a "big picture" perspective. This book assists students and professionals with their most challenging problem as beginning programmers- object abstraction, or how to use interacting objects and methods. The text uses a top-down approach to focus on problem decomposition and program design from the beginning. It is this methodology-along with its lucid and engaging exercises and analogies- that sets this book apart. Morelli introduces some of Javas advanced features including GUIs (e.g. AWT and Swing), exceptions, threads, files, and sockets. Because of this resources adaptable and accessible style, instructors can easily choose which advanced concepts to teach to introductory students while intermediate level programmers can also benefit from its thorough advanced feature coverage. Offers an emphasis on design and problem solving through instruction and examples Emphasizes OO design concepts such as inheritance and information hiding early on and presents them as an essential component of using an OO language Features GUI elements and applets to captivate and maintain the readers interest while introducing them to real-world examples Incorporates action learning tools such as "In the Laboratory" sections, "CyberPet" examples, and drop-in boxes on effective design, programming and debugging tips, and Java language rules Covers advanced features of the Java- GUIs, graphics and drawing; exceptions; recursive problem solving; threads and concurrent programming; files, streams, and input/output techniques; sockets and networking; and data structures Includes a Companion Website-with extensive supplementary resources such as a Study Guide, Power Point slides, Java code-and a CD-ROM that includes the Java code for all the examples in the text, and Java® 2 SDK, Standard Edition, Borland JBuilder 3, University Edition, and NetBeans --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good for people with no programming experience., 12 April 2000
By A Customer
I am a student currently studying for an MSc in Computer Studies, (a conversion course). The best book I have found to date on java with plenty of examples. It is very thorough whilst still being simple to understand. I only wish it existed when I started my course.

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst text-book ever, 30 Mar 2008
By A Reader (Europe) - See all my reviews
I have learned many languages, and have dealt with some pretty bad text-books in my career, but this one has to be the worst ever. For a beginner, with no prior training in computer-programming, this book is at best confusing, at worst, useless.
The idea, to start people off immediately with the big picture and hands-on programming sounds wonderful, unfortunately, it doesn't work. At least not in this book. Unless you know Java (or another programming-language) already, the book is far more confusing than helpful. For the beginner, the concept and progression of the book means that you continuously play a guessing-game with the author, seeing that there are next to no concise definitions of any terms or concepts, and nowhere to look up any such definitions.
Granted, there are boxes with Java Language Rules and Programming and Debugging tips sprinkled throughout the pages. These should be helpful, but unfortunately, there is not even close to a "rule-box" for every important concept (assuming that the list of Technical terms at the end of each chapter is an important concept to know).

I could rant on, but the bottom line is : This book lacks everything that could make it useful for a beginner, and if it was possible to rate it to no stars at all, I would. In this, the prize plays a part too. Paying close to 30 £ for a paper-back that falls apart when you actually read it, and which is impossible to use as a reference-book, is far too much.

... oh, and in case you wonder where I come from, I read and work with 14+ natural languages in 5+ alphabets, living and dead, and have taught quite a few of them on post-graduate level.
