Simple ideas are discussed early, and then incorporated into a more sophisticated context later on The book contains early coverage of object-oriented concepts in line with current teaching practice Graphics are used from the start to promote interest and enjoyment Topics are explained using a wide variety of applications as examples, such as information systems, games and scientific calculations UML diagrams are used throughout the text End-of-chapter pedagogy includes self-test questions, exercises, 'programming principles' and 'programming pitfalls' The companion website at www.booksites.net/bell contains the code of all the programs in the book, a discussion forum and additional resources for instructors.Douglas Bell and Mike Parr lecture at Sheffield Hallam University in the UK. They have written a number of programming books, including the bestselling Java for Students, 3rd edition, and continue to teach and learn about programming with enthusiasm.
