3.0 out of 5 stars overpriced, August 11, 2008
This review is from: Introduction To Computer Science Using Java, Student Edition (Hardcover)
This overpriced book teaches java at a high school level. Or rather, it teaching computer programming, using java as the language of instruction. A good choice, given java's popularity. In a related way, if you get fluent enough in java, it helps in finding programming jobs.

The book explains what object oriented programming is. Java is written as a fully OO language, unlike C++, so this helps. Of course, the book covers aspects of java that are also true in non-OO languages like C or Fortran, like if-else and for loops.

Graphical programs are also shown to be easy to write. Which also involves changing the mindset to a user-driven view, which is inherent in such programs.

Now if only the book was cheaper.
