Murach's Java SE 6
Ever since the first edition of this book was published in 2001, it's been a favorite of instructors because of the clear, concise way it teaches Java and object-oriented programming.
As part of this approach, this book presents a complete
Java program right away, in chapter 2. That means that
new programmers learn OOP naturally, as part of learning
Java. OO programmers who are new to Java see right away
where the differences lie. And mainframe programmers
see how to approach programming in a new, non-procedural
way, before they get into a lot of OOP theory and detail.
That's just chapter 2, of course! For all the details and a complete table of contents, please go to our Books section.
Note: If you've used Murach's Beginning Java in the past,
I want you to know that this is the latest edition of
that book. We've dropped "beginning" from the title
because we found it was too limiting; the content goes
far beyond the beginner level.
Training aids in the book itself: Practice exercises
Training aids available in our Downloads section:
Source code and data for selected book applications (also available in Eclipse and NetBeans versions);
Starting code and data for the exercises (also available in Eclipse and NetBeans versions); Workbook with
study aids like instructional objectives, review questions,
exercises, and student projects; Tutorials on using the Eclipse, NetBeans, and BlueJ IDEs
Instructor's CD
The Instructor's CD for this book includes these materials:
- Instructional objectives by chapter
- PowerPoint slides for classroom presentations
- Starting code and test data for the exercises in the book, plus exercise solutions
- Student projects and model solutions
- A test bank in ExamView, WebCT, and Blackboard formats
- A trainee workbook with study aids like the instructional objectives, exercises, review questions, and projects

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, if you like what you see, you
can get the Instructor's CD. For more information, just
email us at murachbooks@murach.com

We realize that instead of using TextPad to develop
Java programs as shown in our book, you may want your
trainees to use an IDE like Eclipse, NetBeans, or BlueJ.
Likewise, you may want them to use a GUI builder instead
of creating Swing code from scratch.
We want to make it as easy as possible for you to use
our book with products like these.
So we provide
free, downloadable tutorials on using these IDEs with our book. For Eclipse and NetBeans, we also provide versions of the book applications and exercise starts that will run under the IDEs.
