Java in Two Semesters

This easy-to-follow textbook teaches Java programming from first principles, as well as covering design and testing methodologies. The text is divided into two parts. Each part supports a one-semester module, the first part addressing fundamental programming concepts, and the second part building on this foundation, teaching the skills required to develop more advanced applications. This fully updated and greatly enhanced fourth edition covers the key developments introduced in Java 8, including material on JavaFX, lambda expressions and the Stream API. Offering a gentle introduction to the field, assuming no prior knowledge of the subject, is the ideal companion to undergraduate modules in software development or programming. is a Principal Lecturer in the School of Architecture, Computing & Engineering at the University of East London, UK. is a former Principal Lecturer and now visiting lecturer at the same institution.
