Java Software Solutions (Java 5.0 version): Foundations of Program Design (4th Edition) ReviewThe book is clearly directed at a reader new to Java. She might also be new to programming, in any language. Consequently, the book steps carefully through various key ideas, like object oriented programming, polymorphism and recursion. These, and other ideas, are reinforced by extensive self review questions and problem sets. Something worth considering by a lecturer searching for a text to accompany a course.
It is good that the graphics examples focus on using Swing widgets. The original AWT widgets get only a passing remark. Which helps a newbie avoid coding in these.
The book has extensive appendices. Too extensive. Appendix M, which lists the Java class library, is superfluous. It describes the standard Java classes that come with J2SE. For each class, it lists the variables and constants, constructors and methods. Along with brief explanations of the intent of many of these items. The Appendix takes up almost 160 pages. A sizeable fraction of the 900 pages of the entire book. The problem is that the appendix is basically a rendition of the standard documentation that Sun supplies with Java. Little value is added by Lewis and Loftus. This appendix should have been entirely dropped. Instead, the reader could have been directed to the appropriate Sun URL. Or, indeed, been asked to search the web. Because it turns out that the manual pages written by Sun are widely mirrored by many websites.
Or, the manual pages should have been in the CD that comes with the book. (If the pages are already on the CD, then Appendix M should certainly not have been written.)Java Software Solutions (Java 5.0 version): Foundations of Program Design (4th Edition) Overview This book takes an early object oriented approach to Java Embracing Java 5.0 topics, including the new standard Scanner class for simplified keyboard input and parsing, enumerated types, autoboxing, variable length parameter lists, the enhanced for loop, and generic types. This new edition has an earlier evolution of object concepts, developed in a way that capitalizes on the power of objects without overwhelming beginning programmers. It includes all new Java 5 topics, including Scanner class, enumerated types, autoboxing, variable length parameter lists, the enhanced for loop, and generic types.This is in depth coverage on GUI applications. This book is appropriate for beginning programmers who want to learn to program with Java as well as experienced programmers who want to add Java to their skill-set.
