Starting Out with Java: From Control Structures through Objects 5th Edition by Tony Gaddis describes procedural programming-control constructions and methods-earlier than introducing object-oriented programming. As with all Gaddis texts, clear and simple-to-read code listings, concise and sensible real-world examples, and an abundance of workouts appear in every chapter.
The step-by-step presentation helps starting students understand the necessary details necessary to turn into expert programmers at an introductory level. Creator motivates the examination of each programming abilities and the Java programming language by presenting all the details wanted to grasp the “how” and the “why”-but never shedding sight of the fact that most novices struggle with this material. His strategy is both gradual and extremely accessible, guaranteeing that students understand the logic behind growing high-high quality programs.
This text focuses on the basics of courses and methods earlier than covering procedural programming. As with all Gaddis texts, clear and simple-to-read code listings, concise and practical real-world examples, and an abundance of exercises seem in every chapter. Objects and methods are launched earlier than procedural programming.
A clear and student-friendly writing style with stepped-out explanations simplifies for beginning programmers. There are concise, practical, and real-world examples that students understand and relate to foster motivation and retention. A variety of exercises in each chapter encourages students to put concepts to work as they are learned.
New to this edition is Chapter 15, “Databases.” This chapter introduces the student to databases and SQL using Java DB. This edition discusses some of the new language features added in Java 7. Specifically, the ability to switch on a string expression is discussed in Chapter 4, and type inference is discussed in Chapter 7. Chapter 4 has been simplified and now appears immediately following the section on nested if statements. These sections have been rewritten to highlight the similarities between an if/else if statement and a nested if statement.
Many of the chapters have new sections titled In the Spotlight. Each of these provides a programming problem and a detailed, step-by-step analysis showing the student how to solve it. An extensive series of online VideoNotes have been developed to accompany this text. Throughout the book, VideoNote icons alert the student to videos covering specific topics. Additionally, one Programming Challenge at the end of each chapter now has an accompanying VideoNote explaining how to develop the problem’s solution.
