Simply Java: An Introduction to Java Programming (Paperback)

For novice programmers, finding an interesting, practical Java programming reference that doesn’t overwhelm them with details and complexity is difficult. Simply Java: An Introduction to Java Programming is an easy-to-follow textbook that guides the beginning programmer step-by-step through the process of learning Java. The main obstacle to learning object-oriented programming is the volume of interdependent detail that needs to be learned before even the simplest program can be created. Using a spiral approach, this text eliminates extraneous details early on and stresses object concepts that will provide a basis for students to become expert programmers. Classes, objects, and working programs are introduced at the outset, and programming is presented as extended problem solving, making it easier to understand. Class design and graphical user interfaces are introduced early, but most of the detail is postponed until after the student has a better grasp of objects, classes, and inheritance. Simply Java: An Introduction to Java Programming is the perfect text for anyone new to Java who wants a comprehensive, easy-to-comprehend reference.

KEY FEATURES

* Teaches object-oriented design and problem solving using Java in an easy-to-follow style

對於初學者來說，找到一本有趣且實用的Java程式設計參考書，而不會讓他們被細節和複雜性所淹沒，是很困難的。《Simply Java: An Introduction to Java Programming》是一本易於理解的教科書，逐步引導初學者學習Java程式設計的過程。學習物件導向程式設計的主要障礙是需要在創建最簡單的程式之前學習大量相互依賴的細節。這本教材使用螺旋式的方法，在早期消除了多餘的細節，並強調物件概念，為學生成為專業程式設計師提供基礎。在一開始就介紹了類別、物件和可運行的程式，並將程式設計呈現為擴展性的問題解決，使學習更容易理解。類別設計和圖形使用者介面早期就被介紹，但大部分細節會在學生更好地掌握物件、類別和繼承之後再進行介紹。《Simply Java: An Introduction to Java Programming》是對Java新手來說完整且易於理解的參考書。

主要特點:
- 以易於理解的方式教授使用Java進行物件導向設計和問題解決
- 使用螺旋式方法，將大部分細節推遲到學生牢固掌握物件、類別和繼承之後，以呈現更有趣和複雜的例子
- 涵蓋重要領域，如類別設計和實作（包括繼承）、圖形和動畫、圖形使用者介面、方法、物件設計、軟體重用、條件和迭代語句、字串、模擬和資料結構
- 每章提供複習問題和程式設計練習
- 附帶CD-ROM，包含NetBeans™ IDE 4.1、J2SE 5.0和書中的所有原始碼和圖片
