Description
Trusted authors Savitch and Carrano examine problem solving and programming techniques with Java.
Readers are introduced to object-oriented programming and important concepts such as testing and debugging techniques, program style, inheritance, and exception handling. KEY TOPICS: More emphasis on design and algorithms before coding in programming examples and case studies. More attention given to using methods prior to defining methods. Coverage of enumerations and the for-each loop.. Additional coverage of interfaces and polymorphism New glossary of terms. MARKET: A useful reference for programmers who need to brush up their Java skills.
