Unparalleled breadth and depth of object-oriented programming concepts

The Deitels’ groundbreaking How to Program series offers unparalleled breadth and depth of programming fundamentals, object-oriented programming concepts and intermediate-level topics for further study. Java How to Program, Early Objects, 11th Edition, presents leading-edge computing technologies using the Deitel signature live-code approach, which demonstrates concepts in hundreds of complete working programs. The 11th Edition presents updated coverage of Java SE 8 and new Java SE 9 capabilities, including JShell, the Java Module System, and other key Java 9 topics. [Java How to Program, Late Objects, 11th Edition also is available.]

Prepare students to meet Java programming challenges

  • Rich coverage of programming fundamentals; real-world examples.
  • Friendly early classes and objects presentation.
  • Use easily with Java™ SE 8 and/or the new Java™ SE 9.
    • Java SE 9 content is in easy-to-include-or-omit sections.
    • Perfect for instructors who want to stay in Java SE 8 for a while and ease into Java SE 9.
    • Perfect for instructors who want to add JShell (Java 9’s interactive Java) to their Java SE 8 or Java SE 9 courses.
  • Signature live-code approach teaches programming by presenting the concepts in the context of complete working programs.
  • The text’s modular organization is appropriate for introductory and intermediate programming courses, and helps instructors plan their syllabi.
  • Comprehensive coverage of concepts and topics:
    • Interactive Java through JShell–Java SE 9’s most exciting new pedagogic feature.
    • Java 9 topics: Modularity (online), collection factory methods and other language and API enhancements.
    • Lambdas, sequential and parallel streams, functional interfaces, immutability.
    • JavaFX GUI, 2D and 3D graphics, animation and video.
    • Composition vs. Inheritance, dynamic composition.
    • Programming to an interface not an implementation.
    • Files, input/output streams and XML serialization.
    • Concurrency for optimal multi-core performance.
    • Other topics: recursion, searching, sorting, generics, generic collections, data structures, optional Swing GUI, multithreading, database (JDBC ™ and JPA).
    • Visit http://deitel.com/books/jhtp11 for reviewer testimonials, Preface, Table of Contents and Foreword.
  • Access to the Companion Website (http://www.pearson.com/deitel) is available with the purchase of a new textbook and provides extra hands-on experience and study aids, including:
    • Extensive VideoNotes allow students to view the problem-solving process outside of the classroom–when they need help the most. In the VideoNotes, co-author Paul Deitel patiently explains most of the programs in the book’s core chapters. Students like viewing the VideoNotes for reinforcement of core concepts and for further insights.
    • Additional chapters and appendices for advanced courses.
    • Evolving Java SE 9 content
    • Source code for the book’s examples (also available at http://deitel.com/books/jhtp11).

Facilitate Learning with Outstanding Applied Pedagogy

  • Programming Wisdom: Hundreds of valuable programming tips facilitate learning. Icons throughout the text identify Software Engineering Observations, Good Programming Practices, Common Programming Errors, Error-Prevention Tips, Portability Tips, Performance Tips, and Look-and-Feel Observations (for GUI design). These represent the best the authors have gleaned from a combined nine decades of programming and teaching experience.
  • Hundreds of self-review exercises with answers.
  • Hundreds of interesting real-world exercises and projects enable students to apply what they've learned in each chapter (Instructor Solutions Manual contains answers for most).
  • “Making a Difference” exercises encourage students to use computers and the Internet to research and address significant social problems.
  • Most of the programming exercises are titled to help instructors select the most appropriate exercises for homework assignments.
