Summary

Graphics are used very early instead of GUIs to motivate user learning. Java class files for turtle graphics (developed by the author, and downloadable from the Brooks/Cole Web site) drive simple graphics-based labs, programming exercises, and examples in the book. GUIs are covered in a separate, stand-alone appendix. Very early presentation of basic programming concepts - including objects, classes, selection, and iteration -- in Chapter 2 lays the foundation of programming skills that is used throughout the rest of the book.
