Objects Have Class: An Introduction to Programming with Java with CD-ROM and OLC

Objects Have Class!: An Introduction to Programming with Java is intended for the CS1 course on computer programming. It assumes no prior programming skills and takes an intuitive, user-friendly approach to getting students started writing their own object-oriented programs. The philosophy the book espouses is that programming ought to be fun. In keeping with this, the author uses a graphically driven presentation to quickly engage the student. The graphical approach facilitates a very early introduction to the definition and use of objects, so students have the opportunity to work from within an object-oriented paradigm for the entire semester. The author's conversational style and pedagogically sound presentation combine with his graphical approach to produce an innovative and attractive invitation to learning basic programming skills.
