Java Software Solutions / Edition 9

by John Lewis, William Loftus

Overview

For courses in Java programming

Empowers students to write useful, object-oriented programs

Java Software Solutions establishes a strong foundation of programming techniques to foster well-designed object-oriented software. Heralded for its integration of small and large real-world examples, the worldwide best-selling text emphasizes problem-solving and design skills and introduces students to the process of constructing high-quality software systems. The 9th Edition features a sweeping overhaul of Graphics Track coverage, to fully embrace the JavaFX API. This fresh approach enriches programmers’ understandings of core object-oriented principles. The text uses a natural progression of concepts, focusing on the use of objects before teaching how to write them–equipping students with the knowledge and skill they need to design true object-oriented solutions.
