Description
This comprehensive textbook introduces Java programming from first principles, covering fundamental concepts and design methodologies. Divided into two parts, it supports a one-semester module, with the first part focusing on basic programming skills and the second part building on this foundation to teach advanced application development.
The fourth edition of Java in Two Semesters has been fully updated to cover key developments introduced in Java 8, including JavaFX, lambda expressions, and the Stream API. Topics range from variable declaration and control structures to object-oriented concepts, graphical interfaces, and file handling techniques.
With accompanying self-test questions, programming exercises, and two case studies, this textbook provides a gentle introduction to software development for undergraduate modules in programming or related fields. Additional resources are available at the Springer website, including a guide on installing and using the NetBeans Java IDE.
