While Java texts are plentiful, it's difficult to find one that takes a real-world approach, one that encourages students to build on their Java skills through practical exercise. Written by an expert with 18 years of Java teaching experience, this book presents object-oriented programming employing examples taken from everyday life. It uses Java 6 and includes detailed explanations of key concepts, solved examples, and a number of supplements for students and instructors found on an accompanying CD and a dedicated website. The book also includes a detailed chapter on Graphical User Interface, which allows students to begin to produce programs that they can interact with in more familiar ways.
