Product Description

Product Description

This best-selling text by Lewis and Loftus provides an introduction to both the Java programming language and the techniques for writing high-quality programs. This book provides an object-oriented approach that naturally progresses in a way that beginning programmers easily understand by first using objects, then writing clases. The book is also known for providing an introduction to programming practices that leads to well-designed software solutions. The use of graphical user interfaces and event processing is covered in optional, self-contained Graphics Track sections at the end of each chapter.

This book also comes with Addison-Wesley's CodeMate. This online program competency builder transforms a student's reading experience into a dynamic programming environment with a click of a mouse. CodeMate allows students to view, compile, run, and edit programming problems directly from the textbook without installing a compiler.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easiest Java book, 26 May 2008
By A. J. HAWKEN "Tony Hawken" (London - UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Java Software Solutions: Java 5.0 Version: Foundations of Program Design (Paperback)
When I first saw this book, I was surprised by how easy it looks. The first chapter gives a very simple introduction to computers and computing. Later chapters introduce Java programming at a very gentle pace, so the book is obviously aimed at the complete beginner. Even so, If you were to work your way through the book, you could learn the most important features of Java and start programming right away.

I bought this book, because it has been a while since I programmed in Java and desperately needed a newer book, as the Java language changes very rapidly. Keyboard input use to be a painful experience in Java and in many books first appears near the end of the book. This book uses the scanner class which is much easier to use than any of the methods that I was familar with. It was for newer features of the language and the fact that it was simple that attracted me to it.

As far as I can tell, this book is suitable for a first year at University for those studying Computer Science or similar courses. In fact I have investigated on the web and found that a number of UK universities use this text. It could also, in my opinion be used for a foundation year at University.

Unlike many introductory books it does not tell you how to compile and run your programs. What it does provide you with is a CD with a number of Java IDEs and examples from the book. I have never before used a Java IDE, only being familiar with compiling at a DOS prompt. One of the IDEs I can recommend that is on the CD, but you can also download is jGRASP. This is by far the easiest to use. I didn't even need to use the manual to work out how to use it.

In conclusion, this is a nice simple well-written book. It is perfect for those starting the language. It is also very useful for those that need a refresher course.
