Features: This book uses the Java language as a carrier, discussing the general process and methods of Java programming. It focuses on the knowledge of fundamental programming, object-oriented programming, algorithms and data structures, GUI programming, and Web programming. It also covers four major knowledge areas: fundamental computer science, data and control, programming theory, and software engineering. The book provides a detailed analysis of the essential characteristics and syntax of Java as a general-purpose programming language. It demonstrates the design process of applications through numerous Java program examples, introduces mainstream programming methodologies, and cultivates readers' coding skills. The content is easy to understand, comprehensive, illustrated, and uniquely distinctive. The book adopts a case-based teaching method, offering both rich theoretical knowledge and numerous practical examples, along with carefully designed exercises.

This book was developed based on years of teaching experience. It not only incorporates the latest achievements of domestic computer teaching reform but also references the newly developed curriculum system guidelines Computing Curricula 2004 by the ACM and IEEE/CS.
Suitable as a foundational textbook for computer programming courses or Java programming, this book is the preferred choice for undergraduate teaching in computer science at universities. It can also serve as a basic textbook for computer public courses in other disciplines. For computer enthusiasts who self-study programming, as well as for science and technology personnel engaged in software development and application, this book is an excellent reference.
