Introduction to Programming with Java: A Problem Solving Approach
teaches the reader how to write programs using Java. It does so with a
unique approach that combines fundamentals first with objects early. The
book transitions smoothly through a carefully selected set of procedural
programming fundamentals to object-oriented fundamentals. During this
early transition and beyond, the book emphasizes problem solving. For
example, Chapter 2 is devoted to algorithm development, Chapter 8 is
devoted to program design, and problem-solving sections appear
throughout the book. The third edition introduces several new Java
language features, most of the end-of-chapter GUI sections and the final
GUI chapters use JavaFX, and almost all end-of-chapter exercises are
new.
