Introduction to Object-oriented Programming with Java W/cd C. Thomas Wu 2nd edition

An Introduction To Object-Oriented Programming With Java by C. Thomas Wu takes students with no programming background and gets them programming quickly. Wu's object-oriented approach allows students to build their own programs right from the start. Wu's Javabook Package provides students with predefined objects that they can use to build programs right from the beginning, and eventually they learn to create their own objects. Wu uses diagrams extensively in his first edition and has enhanced this aspect of his text in the new edition by use of a second color to improve the pedagogy. Also new to this edition is coverage of vectors in the Arrays chapter.
