Java Programming

Using Java as the language, readers are exposed to object-oriented programming concepts along with the Java syntax to implement them. 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 reader's understanding and retention of the material presented; Java applications are introduced prior to applets so a user 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 user manipulate pre-written objects.
