This full-year introduction to CS1/CS2 text features a gradual approach that covers problem solving and algorithm development but also aims to give students a solid grounding in objects and classes that they will need to start the second half of the book, which represents the CS2 course. Problem solving is emphasized throughout the text through numerous exercises, programming problems, and projects. The book also includes communication and style tips, module specifications, structure charts, "A Note of Interest" boxes, "Focus on Program Design" sections, and running, debugging, and testing tips.

Product Description: This book focuses on standard data structures/CS2 topics while developing object-oriented programs. In Chapter 2, the authors provide a Java language refresher that focuses on the key parts of Java that students need to specifically remember for this course...read more

Product Description: With Lambert and Osborne's book, students learn the fundamentals of programming and problem solving while writing object-oriented programs with graphical user interface in Java. The authors take special care to flatten the learning curve encountered at the front end of the course by: (1) including fun and realistic examples involving simple graphical user interfaces (GUIs) from the very beginning; (2) incorporating 28 case studies that demonstrate the complete program development and software lifecycle; (3) building in 10 "capsules" explaining broad topics in computer science, so that students can see the big picture; (4) teaching Java applications first and applets later; (5) teaching concepts of control early, and object-oriented programming (OOP) later, after Chapter 7; and (6) providing, on disk, a unique GUI tool kit - BreezyGUI™ - that simplifies the programming of GUI-based applications...read more
