Description
Regardless of major, students will be able to grasp concepts of problem-solving and programming – thanks to Liang’s ground breaking fundamentals-first approach, which enables students to understand problem solving and core constructs before object-oriented programming. Liang’s approach has been extended to application-rich programming examples, which go beyond the traditional math-based problems found in most texts. Although students begin using objects early, they are introduced to topics like control statements, methods, and arrays before learning to create classes Later chapters introduce advanced topics including graphical user interface, exception handling, I/O, and data structures. Small, simple examples demonstrate concepts and techniques while longer examples are presented in case studies with overall discussions and thorough line-by-line explanations. In the Seventh Edition, only standard classes are used.
Features
- UML (Unified Modeling Language) graphical notations throughout — Describes classes and their relationships; teaches students design and development of Java programs using the industry standard modeling technique.
- Practical examples on gaming (simulating lottery, interactive quiz, Sudoku), business/financial (computing loan payments, taxes, and printing payroll statements), science (body mass index, wind chill temperature) — Replaces pure mathematical examples such as computing deviations and matrix multiplications.
- Exceptionally broad range of carefully chosen examples — Reinforces key concepts with objectives lists, introduction and chapter overviews, easy-to-follow examples, chapter summaries, review questions, programming exercises, and an interactive self-test.
- The most extensive instructor support package available — Includes interactive and animated slides, TestGen (w/over 2000 multiple-choice questions), solutions to all programming exercises, sample exams and supplemental exercises.
- Instructor resource center and companion website at: http://www.cs.armstrong.edu/liang/intro7e/. These resources contain:
- Microsoft PowerPoint slides with interactive buttons to view full-color, syntax-highlighted source code and to run programs without leaving the slides
- Sample exams
- Solutions to all the exercises (Students can access the solutions of even-numbered exercises in the book’s companion CD-ROM)
- Web-based quiz generator
- Online quiz.
-
- Case studies – Offer additional examples for learning the fundamentals of programming, such as writing loops.
- Carefully chosen, easy-to-follow, representative examples – Include a description, source code, sample run, and an example review.
- Notes and tips throughout — Offer valuable advice and insight on important aspects of program development.
- Sample exams — Include multiple-choice questions, correct programming errors, trace programs, and write programs.
- Supplemental exercises with solutions — Give instructors more options when assigning homework or writing exams.
- Turbo JBuilder is free and can be downloaded at¿Eclipse:¿www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_jbuilder.html
- Please note that GOAL is no longer available with this book.
New To This Edition
- Revised chapter openings – Now emphasize applications to help students to understand the type of problem being introduced in that chapter.
- Former Chapter 7 now split into Chapter 7 and Chapter 9 – The new Chapter 7 introduces objects and classes and Chapter 9 focuses on class design.
- New optional sections on GUI’s at the end of Chapters 2—6 using JOptionPane – More complete coverage of the Swing library can be found in Chapter 13.
- UML notation is used in every example beginning in Chapter 8 — Along with additional notes to describe the relationships.
- Several non-essential topics moved to the text’s Companion Website – To help students focus on learning problem solving and programming techniques.
- Problem-driven, new examples and exercises:
- 20% of programming examples are new
- 30% of programming exercises are new

Author Bios
Dr. Liang earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Okalahoma in 1991, and an MS and BS in Computer Science from Fudan University in Shanghai, China, in 1986 and 1983. Prior to joining Armstrong, he was an associate professor in computer science at Purdue University in Fort Wayne, where he twice received the Excellence in Research award.
Dr. Liang was trained in theoretical computer science. He was active in graph algorithms from 1990 to 1995 and published more than ten papers in several established journals such as SIAM Journal on Computing, Discrete Applied Mathematics, Acta Informatics, and Information Processing Letters. Since 1996, he has devoted to writing texts and published more than thirty books with Prentice Hall. His popular computer science texts are widely adopted in the world.
Dr. Liang was elected a Java Champion in 2005 by Sun Microsystems. He has given lectures on Java internationally.
