Java programming should be creative, interesting and fun. Java For Students has all the elements to make this a reality. This edition is a comprehensive update of the last, bringing Java For Students up to date with the latest developments in teaching introductory programming with Java. The book takes a bottom up approach, starting with the fundamentals of programming before introducing the more complex concepts of objects and classes. Using programs that utilise graphical images throughout, this text demonstrates programming principles to the reader in a tremendously lucid, easy to learn fashion. This edition uses on Swing throughout to reflect a shift towards Swing rapidly becoming the main technology for Java GUI programming. The authors have also moved to coverage of applications over applets to facilitate the novice programmer's introduction to Swing. Applets are covered in an appendix.

This comprehensive revision continues to build upon the distinctive programming approach that differentiates this book from other software engineering texts in the market.  The rationale behind this "bottom-up" approach, one that is much more pragmatic than other software engineering texts, is that students need to understand and be able to apply programming principles before they can contemplate the concepts involved in software engineering. Douglas Bell has updated its content to reflect current trends and new advancements in the field as well as adding new pedagogical features, such as an initial overview of the software process. This will show students how the various topics of software engineering tie together. Includes examples and discussions of Java:UML.

Software Engineering: A Programming Approach

Programming

Prentice/Hall International

An introduction to software engineering for students in undergraduate programs in computer science, computer studies, information technology, and related fields at the college or university level. This edition (first was in 1987) retains a non-mathematical approach and adds new chapters on object-oriented design, parallel programming, requirements specification and formal specification. This is the second edition of a very successful book and has been revised extensively throughout to bring it up to date. The new edition retains the clear, simple style in which very little background is assumed and the chapters are independently organized. Suitable for use in government and industrial training programs.
