Cay Horstmanns fifth edition of Big Java, Early Objectsprovides a comprehensive and approachable introduction to fundamental programming techniques and design skills, and helps students master basic concepts and become competent coders. The inclusion of advanced chapters makes the text suitable for a 2 or 3-term sequence, or as a comprehensive reference to programming in Java. Major rewrites and an updated visual design make this student-friendly text even more engaging. Filled with realistic programming examples, a great quantity and variety of homework assignments, and lab exercises that build student problem-solving abilities, it is no wonder Big Java, Early Objectsis the number one text for early objects in the Java market.
