For courses in Java–Introduction to Programming and Object-Oriented Programming.

The Fifth Edition of this outstanding text is revised in every detail to enhance clarity, content, presentation, examples, and exercises. Now expanded to include more extensive coverage of advanced Java topics, this new edition is available two ways. Choose the Comprehensive edition (chapters 1-29) that includes the new advanced material or choose the Custom Core version (chapters 1-16) that covers material through exception handling and IO. The early chapters outline the conceptual basis for understanding Java and guide students through simple examples and exercises. Subsequent chapters progressively present Java programming in detail, including using objects for design, culminating with the development of comprehensive Java applications.

Case studies–Offers students 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.

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.

Notes and tips throughout—Offer valuable advice and insight on important aspects of program development. Teaches good programming style and practice to help steer students away from programming errors.

Sample exams—Includes 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.

End of chapter material includes:

~State-of-the-art Swing components

~Programming exercises

~Review questions

~Chapter summaries

~Suggested syllabi and lecture notes

Accompanying CD-ROM—Includes all the source code for programs in the book; students can run and manipulate the source code from all the examples in the book, and can access free of charge the JBuilder professional integrated development environment/compiler that they can use to complete programming assignments.

Instructor Resource Website at www.prenhall.com/liang/intro5e_ircw—Contains :

~Microsoft PowerPoint slides with interactive buttons to view full-color, syntax-highlighted source code and to run programs without leaving the slides.

~Sample exams. In general, each exam has four parts: (1) multiple-choice questions or short-answer questions (Most of these questions are different from the ones in the Self-Test on the Web site); (2) correct programming errors; (3) trace programs; (4) write programs.

Daniel Liang teaches concepts of problem-solving and object-oriented programming using a fundamentals-first approach. Beginning programmers learn critical problem-solving techniques then move on to grasp the key concepts of object-oriented and GUI programming using Java 5.  Students start with the essential problem-solving and programming concepts (control statements, methods, and arrays), are then introduced to object-oriented programming, graphical user interface (GUI), and applets, and finally to exception handling, I/O,  data structures, and other advanced subjects. Liang uses small, simple, and stimulating examples to demonstrate concepts and techniques while longer examples are presented in case studies with overall discussions and thorough line-by-line explanations. Students can now write short, interesting, graphical game programs starting from Chapter 2! This text offers one of the broadest ranges of carefully chosen examples, reinforcing key concepts with objectives lists, introduction and chapter overviews, easy to follow examples, chapter summaries, review questions, programming exercises, interactive self-test. Students receive solutions to even-numbered programming exercises, source code for the examples in the book, online self assessment (w/over 1000 multiple-choice questions) and ONLINE homework through GRADIANCE, the industries most advanced online homework application. Instructors are offered the most extensive library of support materials available including interactive and animated slides, TestGen (w/over 2000 multiple-choice questions),  solutions to all programming exercises, sample exams and supplemental exercises.  Available in two versions, the Fundamentals First edition (chapters 1-19) and the Comprehensive version (chapters 1-36).

  Brief 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.
