It is our belief that learning to program offers the student an invaluable opportunity to develop problem-solving skills. The process of defining a
problem, breaking it down into a series of smaller problems, and finally writing an application to solve it exercises a student’s logical abilities.
Additionally, the student is made aware of the capabilities and limitations of a computer and soon realizes that the programmer — the human
element — is more important than the machine.
A Guide to Programming in Java is written for a one-term or two-term course. No previous programming experience is required or assumed. It
is our goal that this text provide students the best possible introduction to programming using Java and to prepare them for further study in the
IT/programming/computer science field.
Guide to Programming in Java: Java 2 Platform Standard Edition 5 covers the basics and touches on advanced features, including multithreaded programming, generics, Lambda expressions, Enumeration, modules, and interface methods are also clearly explained.
