Building Java Programs: A Back to Basics Approach, 5th Edition

Authors: Stuart Reges (Author), Marty Stepp (Author)

For courses in Java Programming.

Effective step-by-step Java education

Building Java Programs: A Back to Basics Approach introduces new concepts and syntax using a spiral approach, ensuring students are thoroughly prepared as they work through CS1 material.  Through the first four editions, Building Java Programs and its back-to-basics approach have proven remarkably effective. The 5th Edition has been extensively updated with incorporation of JShell integration, improved loop coverage, rewritten and revised case studies, examples, updated collection syntax and idioms, expanded self-check and programming exercising sections, and new programming projects.

Preface
The newly revised fifth edition of our Building Java Programs textbook is designed for use in a two-course introduction to computer science. We have class-tested it with thousands of undergraduates, most of whom were not computer science majors, in our CS1-CS2 sequence at the University of Washington. These courses are experiencing record enrollments, and other schools that have adopted our textbook report that students are succeeding with our approach.
Introductory computer science courses are often seen as “killer” courses with high failure rates. But as Douglas Adams says in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, “Don’t panic.” Students can master this material if they can learn it gradually. Our textbook uses a layered approach to introduce new syntax and concepts over multiple chapters.
Our textbook uses an “objects later” approach where programming fundamentals and procedural decomposition are taught before diving into object-oriented programming. We have championed this approach, which we sometimes call “back to basics,” and have seen through years of experience that a broad range of scientists, engineers, and others can learn how to program in a procedural manner. Once we have built a solid foundation of procedural techniques, we turn to object-oriented programming. By the end of the course, students will have learned about both styles of programming.
The Java language is always evolving, and we have made it a point of focus in recent editions on newer features that have been added in Java 8 through 10. In the fourth edition we added a new Chapter 19 on Java’s functional programming features introduced in Java 8. In this edition we integrate the JShell tool introduced in Java 9.
