Java How to Program

This is an excellent introduction to programming book. In undergraduate, I was an astrophysics major who needed to write computer programs as part of my work on a NASA student project. I used this book to teach myself computer programming. Later, while teaching introduction to computer programming as a graduate student in computer sciences, I drew examples from this text to supplement my instruction. (Graduate students who taught classes were told which textbook to use, but I considered the one we were using to be overly simplistic because it delayed teaching objects). This is a great book for teaching object oriented programming languages such as Java.

I used this in a course I took and found it to be useful. It seemed understandable to me, a seasoned programmer in general but a novice in java, yet it was also accessible to others in class who were much newer to the whole process. It is arranged in easy to follow steps, each lesson building on the previous. It is well indexed.

Includes helpful examples.

Antes de ler este livro, eu havia feito 2 cursos de Java e nunca conseguia entender muito bem essa linguagem. Bastou eu ler esse livro para entender claramente os fragmentos de informação que obtive nos cursos.
