Java by Walter Savitch
For introductory Computer Science courses using Java (CS1 with Java), and other introductory programming courses using Java offered in departments of Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Computer Information Systems, Management Information Systems, Information Technology, and Business. In a conversational style, best-selling author Walter Savitch teaches programmers problem solving and programming techniques with Java. Readers are introduced to object-oriented programming and important computer science concepts such as testing and debugging techniques, program style, inheritance, and exception handling. Savitch includes thorough coverage of the Swing libraries and event-driven programming. The Java coverage is a concise, accessible introduction that covers key language features. Objects are covered thoroughly and early in the text, with an emphasis on applications over applets. The text’s highly flexible format enables instructors and readers to adapt coverage to their course needs.
Walter Savitch received his Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1969. Since that time he has been on the faculty at the University of California at San Diego and is currently a Professor of Computer Science and director of the Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Program in Cognitive Science. Professor Savitch s research areas include complexity theory, formal language theory, computational linguistics, and the development of computer science education materials. In addition to writing numerous research articles and involvement in other editorial projects, he has written a number of well-known computer science textbooks, including Pascal, Ada, and C++ CS1 and CS2 textbooks.
Contributing author, Kenrick Mock, is an Associate Professor at the University of Alaska Anchorage. He has also taught at Washington State University, Portland State University, and the University of California Davis. He teaches undergraduate computer science courses across the curriculum including introductory C++, Java, Visual Basic(r) for non-programmers, algorithms, computer security, and artificial intelligence. With the Coastal Marine Institute at UAA, he helped develop a computer system to aid in research about Alaska sea ice and the atmosphere. Before becoming a teacher, Mock was a research scientist and software engineer at Intel . He received a PhD in computer science from UC Davis.
