Description

For courses in Java — Introduction to Programming/CS1.

 

The programming tools that support the Java programming language are very powerful, but often not readily accessible to beginning programmers. Also, descriptions of how to use these tools cannot be integrated easily into introductory textbooks. This manual is an easy-to-use guide to the rich Java Class Library available from Sun Microsystems to support Java. It is a perfect supplement to programming textbooks that focus on the Java language, yet can be used on its own as a stand-alone book. Durney offers a hands-on and tutorial-style introduction to programming tools and resources.
