This book introduces programmers to objects at a gradual pace. The syntax boxes are revised to show typical code examples rather than abstract notation. This includes optional example modules using Alice and Greenfoot. The examples feature annotations with dos and don'ts along with cross references to more detailed explanations in the text. New tables show a large number of typical and cautionary examples. New programming and review problems are also presented that ensure a broad coverage of topics. In addition, Java 7 features are included to provide programmers with the most up-to-date information.
Customer Reviews & Comments I like the book. However, did not realize that it was a student book. There is an option to get access to the teacher section of the website in the book ONLY IF you are a teacher at an authorized site. Otherwise forget it.
Not so bad really being that in the real world you won't have the answers any way. Having paid as much money as I did for this book it would have been nice to see the answers and to have access to the teacher pages. As I bought this book to be self taught not as a student.
Good illustrations. I think it will be a good book regardless of the lack of being able to access the teacher's side of the website the book mentions.
