This textbook presents a focused and accessible primer on the fundamentals of Java programming, with extensive use of illustrative examples and hands-on exercises.
Addressing the need to acquire a good working model of objects in order to avoid possible misconceptions, the text introduces the core concepts of object-oriented programming at any stage, supported by the use of contour diagrams. Each chapter has one or more complete programs to illustrate the various ideas presented, and to help readers learn how to write programs on their own. Chapter summaries and practical exercises also are included to help the reader to review their progress and practice their skills.
This substantially updated second edition has been expanded with additional exercises, and includes new material on bit manipulation and parallel processing.
The purpose of this text is to help the reader learn very quickly how to program using the Java programming language. This is accomplished by concentrating on the fundamentals, providing plenty of illustrations and examples, and using visual contour diagrams to illustrate the object-oriented semantics of the language.
The following provides a brief synopsis of the chapters and appendices:
Chapter 0 begins with the computer concepts of hardware/software, computational thinking, design, and computer ethics.
Chapter 1 provides an introduction to variables, input/output, and arithmetic operations.
Chapter 2 introduces objects and contour diagrams.
Chapter 3 explains selection structures.
Chapter 4 shows how iteration structures work.
Chapter 5 revisits object-oriented concepts.
Chapter 6 introduces string variables and processing.
Chapter 7 illustrates arrays and array processing.
Chapter 8 examines recursion.
Chapter 9 explores inheritance and polymorphism.
Chapter 10 discusses elementary files.
Chapter 11 describes how bit-wise logic works
Chapter 12 introduces parallel processing programming.
Appendix A elaborates on the Java skeleton, standard output, and graphical input/output.
Appendix B discusses elementary exception processing.
Appendix C presents the basics of Javadoc.
Appendix D lists a glossary of key terms.
Appendix E provides answers to selected exercises.
This concise and easy-to-follow textbook/guide is ideal for students in an introductory programming course. It is also suitable as a self-study guide for both practitioners and academics.
