This fourth edition gives an accessible introduction to the Java language and a grounding in the fundamental computer science concepts. It includes expanded coverage of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and Applets as well as updated examples and exercises.

This text uses Java to describe programming concepts, taking full advantage of Java's simpler and more consistent syntax. Its traditional approach uses modern CS tools including a strategic subset of Java and a simple object-oriented graphics library.

Rather than exhaustively cover the entire language, the author focuses on a subset of Java--a lean and practical core that is manageable, yet detailed enough to create powerful Java applets. As readers master the basics of Java, they'll be developing solid programming skills that will increase effectiveness no matter which language they work with.
