Description

For courses in Java — Introduction to Programming/CS1.

 

The programming tools that support the Java programming language are very powerful, but often not readily accessible to beginning programmers. Also, descriptions of how to use these tools cannot be integrated easily into introductory textbooks. This manual is an easy-to-use guide to the rich Java Class Library available from Sun Microsystems to support Java. It is a perfect supplement to programming textbooks that focus on the Java language, yet can be used on its own as a stand-alone book. Durney offers a hands-on and tutorial-style introduction to programming tools and resources.


Features

• Updated for Java 5.0 – Includes information about generic types and the Java Collection Framework. One of the complete examples uses several classes from the Collection Framework and uses some new features of Java 5.0.

 

• Detailed descriptions of commonly used classes and methods – Gives students the information they need to use classes and methods in their programs quickly and easily.

 

• Complete examples of Java applets and applications – Enables students to build on examples instead of starting from scratch.

 

• Tutorial-style introduction to HTML – Students can learn basic HTML and put Java applets in web pages.

 

• Explanations of error messages – Gives students access to the explanation of error messages, along with likely causes, to reduce the frustration of getting a program to compile.
