No one brews up a better Java guide than Cay Horstmann, and in this Fourth Edition of Big Java he′s created his best one yet. Thoroughly updated to include Java 7, this edition of Horstmann′s best–selling text helps students absorb computing concepts and programming principles, develop strong problem–solving skills, and become better programmers, all while exploring the elements of Java that are needed to write real–life programs.
In preparing the new edition, special attention was given to the quality and variety of exercise material– from skill–oriented multiple–choice questions to short code–completion exercises to multi–step lab exercises–offering instructors more ways to engage students at different levels, and providing more practice to students who need it.
A top–notch introductory text for beginners, Big Java, Fourth Edition is also a thorough reference guide for students and professionals alike to Java technologies, Internet programming, database access, and many other areas of computer science.
