Embracing in full the new features of the Java 2 platform as they apply to CS1 topics, this leading textbook continues to teach beginning programs how to design and implement high-quality object-oriented software. New in the second edition is a chapter entitled "Input and Output" (Ch. 7), which explains the class library used earlier in the text and explores other I/O issues such as streams, file I/O, and network-based I/O. Applets and applications are intertwined throughout the book to demonstrate computing concepts-applets, introduced in Ch. 2, build on the excitement of the web, while applications allow students to gain a clear understanding of programming concepts.

Lewis and Loftus have expanded their coverage of classes and objects with this edition (introduced in Ch. 4) to provide more in-depth discussion of methods and parameter passing, method and static variables, and method overloading. Discussion of Swing architecture and components is also new to this edition, as well as the inclusion of new Collection classes.

The Update to the second edition has been published to provide readers with additional resources to enhance their learning. It includes a CD-ROM with various development environments, the textbook example code, and the presentation slides from the book. The typeface for of some of the code has been redesigned to make it more legible. Lastly, the update includes all corrections that have been discovered since the second edition's publication. The main content and flow of the update will remain as it is.

From the Back Cover

Embracing in full the new features of the Java 2 platform as they apply to CS1/Introductory Programming topics, the second edition of this leading textbook continues to teach beginning programmers how to design and implement high-quality object-oriented software. A new chapter, "Exceptions and I/O Streams" (Chapter 8), has been added, which explains the Keyboard class used in the text and explores other I/O issues such as files, network communication, and object serialization.

Applets and applications are intertwined throughout the book to demonstrate computing concepts. Applets, introduced in Chapter 2, build on the excitement of the web, while applications allow students to gain a clear understanding of programming concepts.

John Lewis and William Loftus have expanded their coverage of classes and objects with this edition to provide more in-depth discussion of methods and parameter passing, object relationships, and class design. Discussion of Swing components is also new to this edition, as is the inclusion of new Collection classes.

4.0 out of 5 stars good solid book covering all the fundamentals, 23 Aug 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Java Software Solutions: Foundations of Program Design (Paperback)

This book offers the beginner/intermediate programmer a steady climb into the world of java. I found this book to contain excellent clear programming examples and the complexity is always introduced at a rate that should suit even the most timid beginner

3.0 out of 5 stars Medium, 6 April 2009

By	Ms. B. Devenyi "brigitta" (brigitta) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Java Software Solutions: Foundations of Program Design (Paperback)

There is everything all right with the delivery, very fast indeed and the quality was as described (new).
My only problem is that I think this book is pretty useless for those who want to know Java on a high level, since it doesn't have all the things Java really can do and although it's huge book there's a lot of unimportant parts as well, instead of having more details about the more important features of the language.
If you are a beginner, I can really suggest it though!! Cause it takes you through from the beginning step by step and also has GUI, which is quite nice...although again, it doesn't really say much about Swing for example, so you better go to Sun's homepage.
