An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java OLC Bi-Card

An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java provides an accessible and thorough introduction to the basics of programming in java. This much-anticipated revision continues its emphasis on object-oriented programming. Objects are used early so students begin thinking in an object-oriented way, then later Wu teaches students to define their own classes.

In the third edition, the author has eliminated the author-written classes, so students get accustomed to using the standard java libraries.

Also new is the use of smaller complete code examples to enhance student learning. The larger sample development programs are continued in this edition, giving students an opportunity to walk incrementally walk through program design, learning the fundamentals of software engineering. The number and variety of examples makes this a student-friendly text that teaches by showing.

Object diagrams continue to be an important element of Wu's approach. The consistent, visual approach assists students in understanding concepts. more

Good for beginner

This book is good for java beginner and it is highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn java in a fun and with more graphic. However, there is less topic covered. It is highly expect that more area coverage in later edition.

Chock full of errors and typos

This was the assigned textbook for my first graduate-level programming class. I was told that the first edition had tons of errors and that the second edition was vastly improved. Yikes! We used the second edition and it was unbelievable how many errors there were -- in the explanations, in the...

god-awful programming book

This book is insanely bad for academic purposes. It uses a non-standard package (javabook), which, though useful, does not prepare you for actual Java programming. In addition, this book is one of the worst language references I've ever seen. The first-semester computer science course at my...

Java as a textbook

Just completed UNF Intro to OO in which this was the required text. Overall, not too bad for a text book. No way any kind of reference book. Embrace and learn early on the author-supplied classes. Nice to have the source for these classes supplied. I focused too much on the Foundation Classes...

Not worth it

This is a supplement to my JAVA class in college, and it is not a great book. The book is REALLY overpriced, is flimsy and NOT worth the MONEY! (in comparison to other JAVA intro books that explain the material better). I am also a novice, and although he gives all these examples and it is...
