For courses in Java Programming.
A comprehensive, cohesive, and seamless exploration of Java
programming
Java Foundations is a comprehensive textbook for introductory
programming sequences. The versatile layout supports a
two-or three-semester sequence and introduces students to the world of
programming-from basic programming concepts to the design and
implementation of complex data structures. Inspired by the success of
their industry-leading text, Java Software Solutions, authors Lewis,
DePasquale, and Chase build a solid framework for lasting comprehension.
The 5th Edition is updated to keep the content fully up-to-speed
while incorporating changes from user feedback. The biggest change in
this edition is the overhaul of the graphical content to fully embrace
the JavaFX platform, which has replaced Swing as the supported
technology for graphics and Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) in Java.
The switch over to the new approach simplifies GUI development and
provides better opportunities to discuss object-oriented programming.
