More Description

Assumes no prior programming experience, making it ideal for readers who are starting out in their software development careers as well as programmers who want to expand their skills. Teaching 'by Dissection' Java by Dissection stresses working code, introducing full working programs from the start. In each chapter a program particularly illustrative of the chapter9s themes is presented and then analyzed by dissection, Ira Pohl9s trademark code presentation technique which illustrates the underlying structure of programs. This dissection of code helps readers comprehend newly encountered programming elements and idioms. Traditional and Object-Oriented Programming Java by Dissection begins by explaining how all the basic data types and control statements are used traditionally, and then progresses to the object-oriented features of the Java language and their importance to program design. This gradual introduction to OOP ensures that novices attain an understanding of programming basics before moving onto Java9s object-oriented features. Advanced Topics The second-half of Java by Dissection explains in detail much that is sophisticated about Java, such as its threading, GUI, excepti
