JAVA Fundamentals (SIE)  (English, Paperback, Schildt Herbert)

Authored by THE veteran and most trusted names in the area, this adaptation brings in a text designed for introductory programming courses for Java. It uses a ‘STRAIGHT AHEAD’ approach that keeps the focus of each topic at hand, thus maintaining cohesiveness and logical sequence of concepts.

Salient Features

• Includes coverage of Java 7 (JDK7) - a modern version of the language
• Introduces objects (in Chapter 4) after the basics of the language – to render conceptual clarity
• Eparates the teaching of GUI from the teaching of language elements – provides flexibility in choosing when to introduce GUI programming.
