Murach's Beginning Java 2, JDK 5
More than 100 schools have adopted our beginning Java 2 book. And ever
since the first edition of this book was published in
2001, it's been a favorite of instructors and students
because of the clear, concise way it teaches Java and
OO programming.
What does this Java book do differently? In chapter
2, it presents a complete Java application that uses
the Java 1.5 Scanner class to get input data. From that
point on, all of the OOP concepts are presented in the
context of Java applications. Above all, our book always
uses business applications instead of "toy" applications,
so OO concepts are never presented without real-world
relevance.
One caveat: This book doesn't adhere to the ACM Curriculum for Computer Science courses (but it works great for all other introductory Java courses).
