Java Programming with Jdk 1.2 - Introductory

This text is intended for a first programming course, using Java as the language. Students are exposed to object-oriented programming concepts along with the Java syntax to implement them. This text distinguishes itself in the following ways: no programming experience is assumed; object-oriented techniques are introduced in Tutorial 1 and explored extensively in Tutorials 2 and 3; text explanation is interspersed with step-by-step exercises illustrating the concepts being explained, reinforcing the student's understanding and retention of the material presented. Java applications are introduced prior to applets, so a student has a more thorough understanding of the programming process, and testing is simplified; and Java applications are built from the bottom up, rather than having the student manipulate pre-written objects.
