Java: an introduction to problem solving & programming, 8th ed.

Abstract

Welcome to the eighth edition of Java: An Introduction to Problem Solving & Programming. This book is designed for a first course in programming and computer science. It covers programming techniques, as well as the basics of the Java programming language. It is suitable for courses as short as one quarter or as long as a full academic year. No previous programming experience is required, nor is any mathematics, other than a little high school algebra. The book can also be used for a course designed to teach Java to students who have already had another programming course, in which case the first few chapters can be assigned as outside reading.
