Programming for Everyone in Java Book

This is a book about computer programming for beginners. It assumes you know very little or nothing about how computers work. This book will show you how to write understandable computer programs in Java, a programming language widely used on the Internet. You will go beyond the routine skills of a computer user and learn the art of programming in some depth. Also, you will be able to take what you learn and write Java programs for use on the WWW, your homepage, or company's Internet. While emphasizing general principles of programming this book: * Uses examples from the humanities only, requiring no math or engineering knowledge * Explains all programming concepts by means of complete programs * Concentrates on exercises solved by writing complete programs * Takes the reader from text input/output to object-oriented programming in the equivalent of a one semester class. * Gives the reader a solid background for follow-on courses on the graphics and networking facilities of Java. It is important to note that this is a book about programming. Although the book uses Java, the same methods can be used for systematic programming in other languages, such as C, Fortran, and Pascal. The book makes a splendid text for a one semester course on beginning programming and for such a course there are teaching aids available at the author's website.Read More
