Book Description
This is the fourth edition of the popular computer science textbook Java Methods. The book offers a thorough introduction to the concepts and practices of object-oriented programming in Java. It also introduces the most common data structures and related algorithms and their implementations in the Java collections framework. Chapters 1-14 follow the syllabus of the AP Computer Science course. They will prepare you well for the AP CS exam. Chapters 15-18 on file input and output, graphics, graphical user interfaces, and events handling in Java will give you a better sense of real-world Java programming; this material also makes case studies, labs, and exercises more fun. The book follows four main threads: Java syntax and style, OOP concepts and techniques, algorithms, and Java libraries. As in the software engineering profession itself, these threads are interwoven into an inseparable braid. Working through this book will not make you a Java expert right away, but it will bring you to the level of an entry-level Java programmer with a better than average understanding of the fundamental concepts.
About the Author
Maria Litvin has taught computer science and mathematics at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, since 1987. She is an Advanced Placement Computer Science exam reader and Table Leader and, as a consultant for The College Board, provides AP training for high school computer science teachers. Maria has received the 1999 Siemens Award for Advanced Placement for Mathematics, Science, and Technology for New England and the 2003 RadioShack National Teacher Award. Prior to joining Phillips Academy, Maria taught computer science at Boston University. Maria is co author (with Gary Litvin) of C++ for You++: An Introduction to Programming and Computer Science (1998), which became one of the leading high school textbooks for AP Computer Science courses, and of the earlier editions of the Java Methods books. Maria is also the co-author of Be Prepared for the AP Computer Science Exam in Java (since 1999, now in its seventh Java edition) and Coding in Python and Elements of Discrete Mathematics (Skylight Publishing, 2019). Since 2014, as a Code.org “affiliate,” Maria has trained dozens of New England elementary school teachers in teaching elements of computer science to children in grades K-5. Maria co-writes with Gary Litvin computer science contests for grades 3-5 and 6-8, organized by the Continental Mathematics League. She is a co-author (with Gary Litvin) of Bits and Chips: Computer Science in Questions and Puzzles for Aspiring Coders (Second Edition, Skylight Publishing 2022).
