The Essence of Professional Issues in Computing is a unique introduction to the social, legal and ethical issues which are raised by the development of software. The book has been designed to cover the most important aspects of the topic specified by the British Computer Society (BCS) syllabus. It assumes no prior knowledge of computing and contains a short insight into the British legal system to make the discussion of computer law easier to understand.

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.

This book provides a practical introduction to data structures from a viewpoint of abstract thinking and problem solving, as well as the use of Java.   It does this through what remains a unique approach that clearly separates each data structure’s interface (how to use a data structure) from it’s implementation (how to actually program that structure) into different parts of the book. Part I (Tour of Java), Part II (Algorithms and Building Blocks), and Part III (Applications) lay the groundwork by discussing basic concepts and tools and providing some practical examples, but implementation of data structures is not shown until Part IV (Implementations),  forcing the reader to think about the functionality of the data structures before the hash table is implemented.

The third edition of Data Structures and Problem Solving Using Java incorporates the enhancements of Java 5.0.  It includes coverage of generic programming, and content on the design of generic collection classes. This book is appropriate for readers who are familiar with basic Java programming concepts or are new to the language and want to learn how it treats data structures concepts.
