Features: This book provides a one-year or 24-week programming teaching content (equivalent to two semesters, depending on the school). Part I and the subsequent Part IV take up the first 12 weeks, while Part II and Part III utilize the last 12 weeks. Alternatively, Part I can be used for the foundational course of the first year, while Part II and Part III are used for the second year. Part IV provides a reference for the language, becoming increasingly useful as learning progresses, along with the initial discussion of the programming process. This book is clearly not the kind that readers can discard once they are introduced to it or learn the basic techniques. It is specifically written as a textbook for Java software development courses, aiming to help readers learn Java programming and software development. The book is divided into five parts. Part I (Chapters 1~11) elaborates on the fundamental concepts and key ideas of the object-oriented Java language and the object-oriented development process. Part II (Chapters 12~22) extends Java knowledge, introducing the design of class library architecture, some common data structures and algorithms. Part III (Chapters 23~26) provides some case studies that can be used for self-study, including foundational content for organizing discussion sessions and extending program development projects. Part IV (Chapters 27~32) serves as a self-study guide and reference for the Java language. The appendix provides useful references for Java programming. This book is suitable as a textbook for Java language courses in computer science at universities and colleges, and can also be used by self-learners of the Java language.
