About the Book

Javas support for GUI and network programming makes a great setting for diverse programming examples: a calculator, a strategy game, reading the Dow Jones from Yahoo!, a Web surveyor application, scheduling songs for a rock-and-roll radio station, as well as traditional payroll and student GPA computations. Working with these and other examples, students learn to think like a programmer, analyze problems, devise solutions, design classes, and write code. Features *Uses the necessary features of Java 1.1 while teaching CS1 concepts. *Uses object-oriented concepts from the very beginning--classes, objects, and messages are all introduced in Chapter 1--and develops them throughout. *Applies a consistent class design procedure, usable by beginners. *Contains graphic user interface (GUI) supplements in each chapter. *Provides an early introduction to testing, covering test drivers, debugging, and test case selection. *Includes a chapter with three robust applications--a LOGO turtle, a Web surveyor, and Mancala (a strategy game)--which use the texts class design procedure and allow the students to tie the material together.
