by John Lewis, William Loftus

For courses in Java programming Empowers students to write useful, object-oriented programs Java Software Solutions establishes a strong foundation of programming techniques to foster well-designed object-oriented software. Heralded for its integration of small and large real-world examples, the worldwide best-selling text emphasizes problem-solving and design skills and introduces students to the process of constructing high-quality software systems. The 9th Edition features a sweeping overhaul of Graphics Track coverage, to fully embrace the JavaFX API. This fresh approach enriches programmers’ understandings of core object-oriented principles. The text uses a natural progression of concepts, focusing on the use of objects before teaching how to write them–equipping students with the knowledge and skill they need to design true object-oriented solutions. Also available with MyLab ™ Programming. MyLab Programming is an online learning system designed to engage students and improve results. MyProgrammingLab consists of programming exercises correlated to the concepts and objectives in this book.

I think this is my third time THROUGH this book. We read through it as part of a work book club with mostly graduates in the book club.

Again, it's a great book. The best part of the book club were the discussions that followed on from each chapter!

This was my college textbook on Java. Good book but a bit shallow for my tastes. One of the highlights of this book is how it used a pattern based approach on structured programming such as patterns on how to write control flow statements.

Good book, but you may need more books to supplement this book.

Dr. Lewis and Dr. Loftus has a very easy to understand introduction to Data Structures in Computer Science. Java Software Solutions is an exercise rich compendium of Data Structures and all neophyte programmers are encouraged to read this book and understand Data Structure fundamentals!

It's the kind of book that is doing fine on a shelf and that you said you'd check out one day when you need it. But it seems that googling things is faster than looking in the book so it's getting a bit dusty..

I really struggled with this book. The dry writing style, and the way they organized the topics, was not conducive to learning. At least, not for me. I took a second Java class this semester, and enjoyed the book for that class immensely: Java, A Beginner’s Guide by Herbert Schildt. I highly recommend that one for anyone looking to learn Java programming.

Full of errors....the errata supplement is as bigger than some of the chapters.

This was probably a really good textbook from the little I read of it, but I ended up not needing it for the class.

Really good in the context of a classroom. Got me through a year of Java programming with excellent results.
