Introduction to Programming Using Java

Posted by Anonymous 0 komentar
Introduction to Programming Using Java - Introduction to Programming Using Java is a free introductory computer programming textbook that uses Java as the language of instruction. It is suitable for use in an introductory programming course and for people who are trying to learn programming on their own. There are no prerequisites beyond a general familiarity with the ideas of computers and programs. There is enough material for a full year of college-level programming. Chapters 1 through 7 can be used as a textbook in a one-semester college-level course or in a year-long high school course.

This version of the book covers “Java 5.0”. It also works well with later versions of Java. (While Java 5.0 introduced major new features that need to be covered in an introductory programming course, Java 6.0 and the upcoming Java 7.0 do not.) Many of the examples in the book use features that were not present before Java 5.0. Note that Java applets appear throughout the pages of the on-line version of this book. Many of those applets will be non- functional in Web browsers that do not support Java 5.0. The home web site for this book is http://math.hws.edu/javanotes/. The page at that address contains links for downloading a copy of the web site and for downloading a PDF version of the book.

When you begin a journey, it’s a good idea to have a mental map of the terrain you’ll be passing through. The same is true for an intellectual journey, such as learning to write computer programs. In this case, you’ll need to know the basics of what computers are and how they work. You’ll want to have some idea of what a computer program is and how one is created. Since you will be writing programs in the Java programming language, you’ll want to know something about that language in particular and about the modern, networked computing environment for which Java is designed. As you read this chapter, don’t worry if you can’t understand everything in detail. (In fact, it would be impossible for you to learn all the details from the brief expositions in this chapter.) Concentrate on learning enough about the big ideas to orient yourself, in preparation for the rest of the book. Most of what is covered in this chapter will be covered in much greater detail later in the book. Download free Introduction to Programming Using Java.pdf here
