Java Concepts
With realistic programming examples and follow-up homework assignments to reinforce learning, this text provides essential Java techniques and design skills to students with a wide range of backgrounds. Easy to read with a color-coded table of contents and pedagogy that supports a test-driven approach, the 6th Edition offers a thorough grounding in programming concepts with a gradual introduction to object-oriented techniques and extensive practice with objects and classes.
- A gradual introduction to object-oriented programming techniques, beginning in Chapter 2, provides extensive practice with objects and classes before students are asked to write their own classes.
- Works equally well for a wide mix of student backgrounds. Beginners will find clear presentations that use analogies and a wealth of concrete examples to make concepts understandable, plus How To boxes and Worked Examples to help them get started. Problem-solvers will be able to easily locate notes on special cases and common errors that come up as they work. Second-language learners will find annotated syntax boxes and realistic programs that compactly illustrate key elements of Java, plus a range of later chapters that make this book a complete reference for Java programming.
- Horstmann's clear explanations follow the beginner's thinking process, providing examples and analogies, and anticipating where they may get confused or make mistakes.

- The Testing Track identifies and emphasizes the test-driven approach to programming.
- The Graphics Track integrates optional graphics material into the chapters where it best fits.
- Self-Check Questions test understanding, not memorization, and can be used as springboards to a deeper discussion of key concepts in each section.
