Java: An Introduction to Computer Science and Programming
For Introductory Computer Science Programming courses using Java (CSI with Java). Best-selling author, Walter Savitch, uses a conversational style to teach programmers problem solving and programming techniques with Java. Readers are introduced to object-oriented programming and important computer science concepts such as top-down design, debugging, style, and abstract data types. The Java coverage is a concise, accessible introduction that covers key language features. Thorough early coverage of objects is included, with an emphasis on applications over applets. Prof. Savitch includes a highly flexible format that allows instructors and readers to adapt coverage of topics to their order of preference. This text assumes no previous programming experience.

I’m really not an authority on computer science at all and I did not do the exercises inside but I felt like it was a great book for an introduction to programming concepts
