Programming Abstractions in Java by Eric Roberts
For courses in Java Data Structures. Programming Abstractions in Java: A Client-First Approach Programming Abstractions in Java is intended for use in the second programming course in most college or university curriculum. Stanford University’s Eric Roberts employs a novel strategy called the client-first approach while maintaining full coverage of the CS2 curriculum. In the traditional approach, students learn how to use a particular data structure, how to implement it, and what its performance characteristics are—all at the same time. Roberts exposes the weakness of this model. In short, students are trying to understand how a structure is implemented before they have mastered how one would use that structure in an application. With Programming Abstractions in Java and Roberts’s client-first approach, students learn how to use the full set of collection classes before they tackle any implementation issues. By tackling compelling, real-world assignments in which they use the collection classes as clients, students gain a firm sense of the underlying data model and how each structure can be used. Once they have had time to master the client-side perspective, students are ready to explore the range of possible implementations and their associated computational characteristics. They can also begin to learn the software development skills so desperately needed in the technology industry today.Eric Roberts is the Charles Simonyi Professor of Computer Science, emeritus, at Stanford University. Throughout his career, Roberts was a widely acknowledged leader in computer science education and received numerous national and international awards, including the Outstanding Contribution to Computer Science Education Award from the Association for Computing Machinery’s Special Interest Group in Computer Science Education (ACM SIGCSE), the Karl V. Karlstrom Outstanding Educator Award from the ACM, and the Taylor Booth Education Award from the Institute for Electrical and Electronic Engineers Computer Society (IEEE-CS). Programming Abstractions in Java is his seventh book.
