Kamin-Mickunas: An Introduction to Computer Science Using Java, Second Edition
An Introduction to Computer Science Using Java, 2/e
Samuel Kamin, University of Illinois, Champaign
Dennis Mickunas, University of Illinois, Champaign


Overview

An Introduction to Computer Science Using Java, 2/e strives to give the reader the tools to develop correct, efficient, well-structured, and stylish programs and to build a foundation for further studies in computer science. The broad perspective that this book offers makes it an ideal text for the first course a student will take in Computer Science.

In the new edition, the authors have put more emphasis on object-oriented programming, greatly expanding their coverage and using a more graphical approach. At the same time, the text has retained its coverage of the traditionally fundamental computer science topics such as the development of correct programs, iteration, arrays, recursion, and algorithm analysis. This blend prepares students to become sophisticated computer programmers, not simply Java programmers
