Computing Fundamentals with Java

Back

Computing Fundamentals with Java is the current effort in the author’s 11-year journey of integrating object-oriented programming into the first computer science course (CS1), while retaining the commonly accepted fundamentals
of computing. In addition to traditional CS1 topics and the newer objects and classes, this text provides three bonus chapters on object-oriented software development in the context of a case study.

This text is designed for students with little or no prior programming experience, as well as for students who may have experience with another programming language. Computing Fundamentals with Java is written to clearly present fundamental concepts to beginning programmers.
