For Introductory Computer Science Programming courses using
Java (CSI with Java).
Best-selling author, Walter Savitch, uses a conversational
style to teach programmers problem solving and programming techniques
with Java. Readers are introduced to object-oriented programming and
important computer science concepts such as top-down design, debugging,
style, and abstract data types. The Java coverage is a concise, accessible
introduction that covers key language features. Thorough early coverage
of objects is included, with an emphasis on applications over applets.
Prof. Savitch includes a highly flexible format that allows instructors
and readers to adapt coverage of topics to their order of preference.
This text assumes no previous programming experience.
Numerous programming examples and programming exercises.
Complete explanations of Java language features—With
sample code and entire programs.
Summary Boxes—Summarizes key Java features and
problem-solving techniques.
Programming Tips and Gotcha sections—Provides
suggestions for good programming practices, and identifies common
programming problems and pitfalls.
Use of the AWT to teach how to design portable GUIs and
produce professional windowing interfaces.
The Java material tested using Sun Microsystem's Java
JDK version 1.1—Consistent with changes scheduled for version
1.2.
Self-Test Questions with answers—Follows important
topics.
Engaging Case Studies.
CD-ROM—Includes all the programs and classes,
and a student version of CodeWarrior, and integrated development environment
for Windows 95/NT and Macintosh.
A Companion Website—Includes an online student
study guide and program code.
