Web development
If you offer courses in web development, you won't find more practical, real-world texts than ours. Instead of just skimming the surface with a survey approach, our HTML/XHTML/CSS gets right to the nitty-gritty of creating web pages, while our JavaScript book goes beyond competing texts to present DOM scripting at a professional level. That means you can use these books to teach your students the skills that will put them ahead in the job market.
NEW! HTML, XHTML, and CSS
JavaScript and DOM Scripting
For server-side web development, we offer books for both the .NET and Java platforms (and soon for PHP as well). Our ASP.NET and JSP books can follow any introductory text you want to use. But they're tightly integrated with our core C#, Visual Basic, and Java books (described below). So it's easy to use them in tandem with the corresponding core books for a series of courses in C#, VB, or Java programming.

Java Servlets and JSP (2nd Edition)
Coming in November: PHP and MySQL
Visual Basic, C#, and C++
For VB and C# instruction, we've created core books
that teach how to use Visual Studio and the .NET classes
to create Windows Forms applications. Because both books have full sections on database programming and object-oriented programming, we have instructors using them for first programming courses, advanced courses, database programming courses, and two-semester VB or C# courses.
NEW! Visual Basic 2010
Coming in October: C# 2010
Visual
Basic 2008
C# 2008
Our Visual C++ book has the same, proven content and
approach as our C# book. Written by a Ph.D. who's taught
extension courses at UCLA for many years, it takes advantage
of the features of Visual Studio to show students how
to create C++ applications more quickly and easily than
has been done traditionally in C++ courses.
C++ 2008
Java
The first edition of our core Java book came out in 2001 and was an immediate success because it took a new, straightforward approach to object-oriented programming that focused on business applications...no "toy" applications and no theory without showing application. Before long, our book had been adopted by more than 100 schools, and it received high praise from both instructors and students.
Now, in its current edition for Java SE 6, our core Java book works better than ever. And you can combine it with our Servlets and JSP book listed above for a full series of Java courses.
Java SE 6
Database programming
Our SQL books help you show your students how to take
advantage of the power that's available to them in their
DBMS, no matter whether they're working with SQL Server
or Oracle. What's more, both books interface seamlessly
with our .NET and Java programming books, so they'll
help your students move easily from one subject to the
next.
Oracle SQL and PL/SQL
SQL Server 2008 for Developers
We also offer a book on ADO.NET
that can be used for database
courses. It interfaces easily with our core VB/C# and ASP.NET
books, and you can use it at any point after your students
have the core skills covered in Murach's Visual Basic or Murach's C#.

IBM mainframe
In the 1980s and 1990s, we built our reputation on books for IBM mainframe programmers. Today, we're seeing a slight resurgence in mainframe training, and our customers tell us that our books are still the best training materials anywhere on the market. So if you're still teaching COBOL, ours is the only book that presents COBOL the way it's used in the real world (books like Stern & Stern don't). And our CICS, DB2, and JCL books work far better than anything that's available from IBM.
