An introductory text for beginners with no background in programming, this book teaches students how to write object-oriented programs and is appropriate for any first programming course in Java. It covers both Java applets and applications. The fundamentals of programming are examined through the use of predefined objects supplied with the book, and students go on to learn how to define their own objects and how to develop programs using object-oriented design methodology. In addition, modern programming topics, such as event-driven and GUI (Graphical User Interface) programming, are covered. The book uses Java which is suitable as a vehicle in teaching object-oriented programming for beginners. Other features include: incremental program development; JDK (Java Development Kit) 1.1-compatible; and all programming tasks, examples, exercises and codes are presented in Java.

2.0 out of 5 stars
for novices, just don't do it,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming With Java (Paperback)
Hi,I'm a student using this as a textbook for intro to Object Oriented Programming using Java. This book is a nightmare. Please, if you're an instructor, don't use this book for your class. Me and others alike who are novices are confused by this book. If you use this book, expect to re-explain a lot to your students. The explanations of the basics are very confusing, as well as the wording alone. I'm confused by the wording of basic concepts I even understood in the text. It seems to get a little better once you get the roots of the programming down. But for me the most important part of a text is explaining the core concepts. Maybe this isn't for the novice, but for those of us in my class who are, we agree, just don't get this book.

Not introductory enough,
This review is from: An Introduction To Object-Oriented Programming with Java (Paperback)
I found this book to be helpful to a point, but it jumps around a lot, and to a beginning programmer, it can be a bit confusing. My suggestion to professors wanting to use this book for their classes is: find one more simplified only the experienced students understand it enough to implement it.

Visual Java Teaching Book,
By Salman Hajipour (Tehran, Iran) - See all my reviews
This review is from: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming With Java (Hardcover)
A good visual book, teaching by the UML diagrams. Suitable for beginners to intermediate level and a bit more. Nice colorful book. With the help of "Sample Developments" this book will give you some real practical experiments throughout each chapter. My suggestion for those who want to begin Java with no prior programming experience is "Java 60 Minutes a Day" which you can find it in my review list. In my view, as an intermediat programmer, is a bit difficult to understand core java with this book.
