Download or read book Programming and Problem Solving with Java written by Nell B. Dale and published by Jones & Bartlett Learning. This book was released on 2008 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extensively revised, the new Second Edition of Programming and Problem Solving with Java continues to be the most student-friendly text available. The authors carefully broke the text into smaller, more manageable pieces by reorganizing chapters, allowing student to focus more sharply on the important information at hand. Using Dale and Weems' highly effective "progressive objects" approach, students begin with very simple yet useful class design in parallel with the introduction of Java's basic data types, arithmetic operations, control structures, and file I/O. Students see first hand how the library of objects steadily grows larger, enabling ever more sophisticated applications to be developed through reuse. Later chapters focus on inheritance and polymorphism, using the firm foundation that has been established by steadily developing numerous classes in the early part of the text. A new chapter on Data Structures and Collections has been added making the text ideal for a one or two-semester course. With its numerous new case studies, end-of-chapter material, and clear descriptive examples, the Second Edition is an exceptional text for discovering Java as a first programming language!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book teaches the reader how to write programs using Java. It does so with a unique approach that combines fundamentals first with objects early. The book transitions smoothly through a carefully selected set of procedural programming fundamentals to object-oriented fundamentals. During this early transition and beyond, the book emphasizes problem solving. For example, Chapter 2 is devoted to algorithm development, Chapter 8 is devoted to program design, and problem-solving sections appear throughout the book. Problem-solving skills are fostered with the help of an interactive, iterative presentation style: Here's the problem. How can we solve it? How can we improve the solution? Some key features include: -A conversational, easy-to-follow writing style. -Many executable code examples that clearly and efficiently illustrate key concepts. -Extensive use of UML class diagrams to specify problem organization. -Simple GUI programming early, in an optional standalone graphics track. -Well-identified alternatives for altering the book's sequence to fit individual needs. -Well-developed projects in six different academic disciplines, with a handy summary. -Detailed customizable PowerPointTM lecture slides, with icon-keyed hidden notes.

Download or read book Data Structures and Problem Solving Using Java written by Mark Allen Weiss and published by Pearson Higher Ed. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 949 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the second or third programming course. A practical and unique approach to data structures that separates interface from implementation. This book provides a practical introduction to data structures with an emphasis on 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 its implementation (how to actually program that structure). Parts I (Tour of Java), II (Algorithms and Building Blocks), and III (Applications) lay the groundwork by discussing basic concepts and tools and providing some practical examples, while Part IV (Implementations) focuses on implementation of data structures. This forces the reader to think about the functionality of the data structures before the hash table is implemented.
