Building Java Programs offers an effective step-by-step Java education. It introduces new concepts and syntax using a spiral approach, ensuring students are thoroughly prepared as they work through CS1 material. Through the first 4 editions, Building Java Programs and its back-to-basics approach have proven remarkably effective.

The 5th Edition has been extensively updated with incorporation of JShell integration, improved loop coverage, rewritten and revised case studies, examples, updated collection syntax and idioms, expanded self-check and programming exercising sections, and new programming projects. Sections added to Chapter 2 help you to understand loops and how to create effective tables for discovering patterns in nested loops.
