Description
As the worldwide best seller for introductory programming using the Java (TM) programming language, Java Software Solutions is the premiere model of text that teaches a foundation of programming techniques to foster well-designed object-oriented software. Heralded for its integration of small and large realistic examples, the authors emphasize building solid problem-solving and design skills.
The Sixth Edition introduces improvements that make the text a better teaching and learning tool. Revolutionary Video Notes featuring author John Lewis work in conjunction with the text to visually explain challenging topics and in-text Programming Projects. New vignettes explaining real-world software failures emphasize why good design is important, and novel section-level exercises let students check their comprehension before moving on.
