Instructor's materials for
Murach’s Beginning Java 2, JDK 5
If you're a trainer or instructor who would like to use this book for a course, we've developed a complete package of student and instructor's materials. These include a Student Workbook, an Instructor's CD, and Java tutorials that expand upon the content in the book.
For a detailed look at these materials and how you can use them in your course, please view the Instructor's Summary that we've prepared (it's a PDF document). Then, to request the Instructor's CD, please email us or call us at 1-800-221-5528.
Student Workbook
If you preview the Student Workbook, you'll see that it includes study aids like objectives, new term lists, self-study questions, and the exercises from the book, plus projects that ask the students to develop applications from scratch (unlike the exercises). Your students can download this Workbook along with the supporting files for the projects from this web site, and these student materials are also available on the Instructor's CD.
Instructor's CD
The Instructor's CD includes everything else you need for running an effective course, including:
PowerPoint slides for classroom presentations
Source code and data for all of the applications in the book
Starting code and test data for the exercises in the book
Solutions to the exercises in the book
Student projects (the ones in the Student Workbook)
Solutions to the student projects
A question bank in several formats including RTF, Exam View, WebCT, and Blackboard
The Student Workbook (so you don't have to download it)
Because the PowerPoint slides include the critical information that's in the figures of the book, they make it easy for you to review any topics that your students have trouble with in class. Then, the book exercises give your students the practice they need; the tests that you can create from the question bank let you measure your students' comprehension; and the projects let your students prove that they can apply what they've learned as they develop complete applications.
Java tutorials that expand upon the book
To make it easier for you to cover topics that aren't included in the book, we've created these two downloadable tutorials:
How to use BlueJ for developing Java applications
BlueJ is a free IDE for developing Java applications that can be downloaded from the BlueJ web site. Some instructors like their students to use BlueJ as their IDE, so this tutorial shows how to use its basic features in conjunction with our book.
How to use printf in developing Java applications
This short tutorial shows how to use the printf method, introduced in Java 5.0,
to display formatted data on the console.
