Opis

This is a book about computer programming for everyone: artist, poet, student, doctor, accountant, or engineer. This book will show students how to write understandable computer programs in Java. While emphasizing general principles of programming this book: - uses examples from the humanities only, requiring no math or engineering knowledge -explains all programming concepts by means of complete programs -concentrates on exercises solved by writing complete programs -takes the reader from text input/output to object-oriented programming in the equivalent of a one semester class. -gives the reader a solid background for follow-on courses on the graphics and networking facilities of Java. This book is a sound and complete introduction to programming. Although the book uses Java, the same methods can be used for systematic programming in other languages, such as C, Fortran, and Pascal.
