Summary

With a variety of interactive learning features and user-friendly pedagogy,Java 5 Illuminatedprovides a comprehensive introduction to programming using the most current version of the Java language, Java 5. In addition to providing all of the material necessary for a complete introductory course in Java programming, the book also features flexible coverage of other topics of interest, including Graphical User Interfaces, data structures, file input and output, and applets. Object-Oriented Programming concepts are developed progressively and reinforced through numerous Programming Activities, allowing students to fully understand and implement both basic and sophisticated techniques at a pace which is neither too fast nor too slow. OO concepts are blended appropriately with fundamental programming techniques, including accumulation, counting, finding maximum and minimum values, and using flag and toggle variables, and supplemented with coverage of sound software engineering practices. Distinguishing this text from other introductory Java books is the authors' extensive use of an "active learning" approach to presenting the material through abundant use of graphics, visualization exercises, animations, numerous full and partial program examples, group projects, and best practices. These and other pedagogical devices facilitate hands-on, interactive learning, and make the book equally appropriate for use in "traditional" lecture environments, a computer-equipped classroom, or lab environment.
