Computer ScienceInternational EditionAN INTRODUCTION TO OBJECT-ORI ENT EDPRO GRAM MING WITH JAVAFourth Editionby C Thomas Wu (Otani), Naval Post grad u ate School2006 / 976 pages / SoftcoverISBN-13: 978-0-07-294652-9 / MHID: 0-07-294652-0ISBN-13: 978-0-07-111680-0 / MHID: 0-07-111680-X[IE, Mandatory package)http://www.mhhe.com/wuAn Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Javaprovides an accessible and technically thorough in tro duc tionto the basics of pro gram ming using java. The fourth editioncontinues to take a truly object-oriented approach. Objectsare used early so that students think in objects right from thebeginning. In the fourth edition, the cov er age on definingclasses has been made more accessible. The material has beenbroken down into smaller chunks and spread over two chapters,making it more student-friendly. Also, new to this edition isthe incorporation of Java 1.5 features, including use of theScanner Class and the Formatter Class. The hallmark featureof the book, Sample Development Programs, are continuedin this edition. These provide students with an opportunityto in cre men tal ly, step by step, walk through program design,learn ing the fundamentals of soft ware engineering. Objectdiagrams, using a subset of UML, also continue to be animportant element of Wu’s approach. The consistent, visualapproach assists students in understanding concepts.NEW TO THIS EDITION• The fourth edition takes a gentler approach to teaching students tobuild their own classes, which makes the dif fi cult topic accessible tostudents.• The fourth edition contains many new examples geared towardbeing student-mo ti vat ing and accessible.• New Java 1.5 features are in corporated in clud ing two newclasses, the Scanner Class for input and the Formatter class.• A Testbank is available to instructors, with questions that can beassigned as exam questions or homework.Features• Objects are emphasized from the start, training students to thinkabout programming in an object-oriented way.• The fundamentals of incremental program design are emphasizedby taking students through large Sample Development Programs thatreinforce software engineering principles.• Wu presents concepts visually. His diagrams representing objectsand classes make these concepts easier for students to understand.• An Online Learning Center (OLC) con tain ing solutions forin struc tors, PowerPoint Slides, Labs, Source Code, an Example Bank,Com pil er HowTos and more is available with this book at www.mhhe.com/wu.• Small complete pro grams are used the book throughout to providestudents with small and digestible examples, making material easierto comprehend.CONTENTS1 Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming and Software Development. 2Getting Started with Java. 3 Numerical Data. 4 Defining Your Own Classes-Part 1.5 Selection Statements. 6 Rep e ti tion Statements. 7 Defining Your Own Classes-Part2. 8 Exceptions and Assertions. 9 Characters and Strings. 10 Arrays. 11 Sortingand Search ing. 12 File Input and Output. 13 Inheritance and Poly mor phism. 14GUI and Event-Driven Programming. 15 Re cur sive AlgorithmsInternational EditionJAVA 1.5 PROGRAM DESIGNby James P Cohoon, University of Virginia, Charlottesville and JackW Davidson, University of Virginia, Charlottesville2004ISBN-13: 978-0-07-121841-2 / MHID: 0-07-121841-6[IE with Bind-In Card]http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/007235447xJava 1.5 Program Design is about the fundamentals ofprogramming and software development using Java. It istargeted for a first programming course and has been designedto be appropriate for people from all disciplines. The authorsassume no prior programming skills and use mathematics andscience at a level appropriate to first-year college students.The breadth of coverage and the arrangement of the chaptersprovide flexibility for the instructor in what and when topics areintroduced. Key to Java 1.5 Program Design is an introductionto problem solving. The basics of problem-solving techniquesare introduced in chapter one and then reinforced during theexplanations of Java pro gram ming and design. In addition,software engineering design concepts are introduced viaproblem studies and software projects. This updated versionof Java Program Design takes ad van tage of the improvementsto the language introduced with Java 1.5. The additions areespecially important for beginning pro gram mers because theyhelp make program design and development a clearer andmore straightforward process.CONTENTS1 Background. 2 Java Basics. 3 Using Objects. 4 Being Classy. 5 Decisions. 6Iteration.

Built by Sun Microsystems over a5-year period, Java moved the Internet from its infancy intoearly childhood by enabling web pages to do more than justsit there on the screen like a computerized brochure. Javaenabled users to view media, listen to the radio, interact withother users, bid on products on EBay, virtually tour a homefor sale, and check stock prices in real time. Sun has nowreleased Java 1.4, a version that includes many updates forprogrammers that make creating web pages even easier. Withversion 1.4 there are new data structures, new additions to theJava language, and more ap pli ca tions that can use Java, not tomention the advancements in applet tech nol o gy which usesJava as its programming lan guage. Java has emerged as thesoftware developer’s clear choice for web development, andJava users today far out num ber those of all other programminglanguages, such as C++ or Visual Basic. The AP coursein Computer Science will reflect these changes as its focuschanges from C++ to Java 1.4 beginning with the Spring 2004Exam. This second edition of the successful Schaum’s OutlineProgramming with Java will address these advances in the Javaprogramming language since 1999. It will include updatedand expanded ex am ples and solved problems, a feature thatno other com pet i tive books on the subject have, which willalso appeal to students of Computer Science at the AP level inHigh School.
