Product Description
Book Description
"An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java" provides an accessible and technically thorough introduction to the basics of programming using Java. The fourth edition continues to take a truly object-oriented approach. Objects are used early so that students think in objects right from the beginning. In the fourth edition, the coverage on defining classes has been made more accessible. The material has been broken down into smaller chunks and spread over two chapters, making it more student-friendly. The hallmark feature of the book, Sample Development Programs, are continued in this edition. These provide students with an opportunity to incrementally, step by step, walk through program design, learning the fundamentals of software engineering. Object diagrams, using a subset of UML, also continue to be an important element of Wu's approach. The consistent, visual approach assists students in understanding concepts.

for novices, just don't do it, Jun 11 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming With Java (Paperback)
Hi,I'm a student using this as a textbook for intro to Object Oriented Programming using Java. This book is a nightmare. Please, if you're an instructor, don't use this book for your class. Me and others alike who are novices are confused by this book. If you use this book, expect to re-explain a lot to your students. The explanations of the basics are very confusing, as well as the wording alone. I'm confused by the wording of basic concepts I even understood in the text. It seems to get a little better once you get the roots of the programming down. But for me the most important part of a text is explaining the core concepts. Maybe this isn't for the novice, but for those of us in my class who are, we agree, just don't get this book.

Not introductory enough, Dec 6 1999
By Andrew Hokenson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: An Introduction to Object Oriented Programming With Java (Paperback)
I found this book to be helpful to a point, but it jumps around a lot, and to a beginning programmer, it can be a bit confusing. My suggestion to professors wanting to use this book for their classes is: find one more simplified only the experienced students understand it enough to implement it.

Visual Java Teaching Book, Jan 11 2005
By Salman Hajipour - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming With Java (Hardcover)
A good visual book, teaching by the UML diagrams. Suitable for beginners to intermediate level and a bit more. Nice colorful book. With the help of "Sample Developments" this book will give you some real practical experiments throughout each chapter. My suggestion for those who want to begin Java with no prior programming experience is "Java 60 Minutes a Day" which you can find it in my review list. In my view, as an intermediat programmer, is a bit difficult to understand core java with this book.
