Java With Infotrac: First Contact, 2/e

Java: First Contact has been written from the ground up providing students with no programming background an introduction to object-oriented programming using the Java language. The authors introduce the use of pre–existing objects right from the start, laying the groundwork for successfully learning all major Java objects. This includes learning how to write objects, understanding the importance of inheritance, and object–oriented design. As a result, students establish a strong foundation in the object model so they can build an object-oriented system from start to finish. The book covers all major aspects of the Java language, including making use of classes from the Java standard library. In cases where standard classes are too complex, author defined classes are available. Later chapters are dedicated to covering advanced aspects of the Java language, including GUI’s, applets, input/output, and elementary data structures, enabling students to use a wide variety of tools when writing Java programs.

《Java: First Contact》是從頭開始撰寫的，為沒有程式設計背景的學生提供了使用Java語言進行物件導向程式設計的介紹。作者從一開始就介紹了使用現有物件的方法，為成功學習所有主要的Java物件打下基礎。這包括學習如何撰寫物件、理解繼承的重要性和物件導向設計。因此，學生們在物件模型上建立了堅實的基礎，可以從頭到尾建立一個物件導向系統。該書涵蓋了Java語言的所有主要方面，包括使用Java標準庫中的類。在標準類過於複雜的情況下，還提供了作者定義的類。後面的章節專門介紹了Java語言的高級方面，包括GUI、applet、輸入/輸出和基本數據結構，使學生在撰寫Java程式時可以使用各種工具。
