Java Programming, Second Edition, is written and designed specifically for students with no previous programming experience. Object-oriented techniques are introduced early, featuring short code examples that are built from the bottom up. Java applications are introduced prior to applets so students understand the programming process more thoroughly, in a simplified environment. The second edition has been modified to include additional student exercises; explanations and examples using the StringBuffer class; and a whole chapter explaining Swing. Swing components are used in place of AWT components.

Programming Logic and Design, Comprehensive, Third Edition provides the beginning programmer with a guide to developing structured program logic. This textbook assumes no programming experience and does not focus on any one particular language. It introduces programming concepts and enforces good style and logical thinking. New elements found in this edition include a complete program example in each chapter; key terms and 20 review questions at the end of every chapter; more thorough coverage of modularization, object-oriented concepts, and event handling; earlier coverage of style and design issues; and a new appendix on numbering systems.

With a clear writing style that is stripped of highly technical jargon, Programming Logic and Design, Introductory, 5E provides beginning programmers with a guide to developing structured program logic. The book's main goal is to introduce universal programming concepts while enforcing good style and logical thinking along the way. Designed for readers with little or no programming language experience, it begins with basic general programming concepts and key concepts of structure. Coverage then progresses to the intricacies of decision-making, looping, array manipulation, methods, and finally a summary chapter that incorporates all of these principles in a discussion of control break programs. The newly revised fifth edition has been updated to reflect the current state of the industry and the learning needs of today's beginning programmers. Finally, in the successful tradition of previous editions, it is not language specific, so the logic learned in this book can be applied to any programming language.
