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.

VideoNotes are Pearson's new visual tool designed for teaching students key programming concepts and techniques. These short step-by-step videos demonstrate how to solve problems from design through coding.¿ VideoNotes allow for self-paced instruction with easy navigation including the ability to select, play, rewind, fast-forward, and stop within each VideoNote exercises. Margin icons in your textbook let you know when a VideoNotes video is available for a particular concept or¿homework problem.¿

Features

• Innovative fundamentals-first approach — Starts students with essential problem-solving and programming concepts (control statements, methods, and arrays); moves on to object-oriented programming, graphical user interface (GUI), and applets; and finally introduces exception handling, binary I/O, and recursion.

• 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)

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 Ch. 2 — 6 using JOptionPane. More complete coverage of the Swing library can be found in Ch. 13.

• UML notation is used in every example beginning in Ch. 8 along with additional notes to describe the relationships.

• New chapters on data structures:

– Chapter 21, “Generics,” presents an in-depth coverage on generics. Generics is now covered before Java Collections Framework so it can be incorporated with the data structures.

– Chapter 23, “Algorithm Efficiency,” is brand new to use many concrete examples to introduce algorithm analysis and design.

– New chapters 27-28 introduce graph applications.

• New chapter on JSF for visual Web development.

• New chapter on Web services.

• Several non-essential topics moved to the text’s Companion Website, to help students focus on learning problem solving and programming techniques:

– These topics include the & and | operators, the discussion on how expressions are evaluated internally in Java, regular expressions, initialization blocks, how to package Java projects into archive files, and more.

– Advanced language details are now online.

– Last six chapters on web 38, 39, 40, 43 were in book and are now on CD. 41, 42 are new and are on CD.

• Problem-driven, new examples and exercises:

20% of programming examples are new

30% of programming exercises are new
