Java Foundations, 2nd Edition

Inspired by the success of their best-selling introductory programming text, Java Software Solutions, authors Lewis, DePasquale, and Chase now release Java Foundations, Second Edition. This text is a comprehensive resource for instructors who want a two-or three-semester introduction to programming textbook that includes detail on data structures topics. Java Foundations introduces a Software Methodology early on and revisits it throughout to ensure students develop sound program development skills from the beginning. Control structures are covered before writing classes, providing a solid foundation of fundamental concepts and sophisticated topics.

• Presents objects in a gradual, natural manner. Concepts that overlap with procedural programming, such as methods and their invocation, are discussed in terms of an object-oriented approach.
• Loaded with fully implemented examples, intertwining small examples, and realistic larger examples that are easy to understand.
• Offers complete chapter on Graphical User Interfaces that includes engaging graphical examples.
• Exclusive coverage of software-testing and debugging effective practices.
• Provides plenty of opportunity for practice with extensive end-of-chapter questions, exercises, and projects.
