Programming with Java W/ CD-ROM [With CDROM]

I'm using this book to teach an Interterm course -- Java in just 14 3-hour classes. That requires a book with some unique characteristics. This book is 1) Clear, 2) has progressive code examples, 3) Hands-on projects at the end of each chapter, and 4) source code listings for the projects so you can approach it by either a) code and compare, or b) type in the code and see it run. For instructors there are good support materials so this is win win all the way. I like this book a lot and my students do as well.

This book really reinforces your learning of the Java programming language as it uses easy, simple and concise language in a straightfoward manner unlike other programming books.It teaches on the programming concepts and reinforce your learning by inclusing a programming project at the end of each chapter making it the best Java beginner's programmer book available.I highly recommend every programming student to get this book as it touches on both theory as well as includes a real hands on Java application program exercise to apply your knowledge on this subject.
