Book excerpts:
Java Gently is a first programming text. It aims to teach students, as well as those fascinated by the possibilities of their computers and the Internet, how to program, and how to do it in the best possible style in the Java programming language. In the process, Java Gently covers all the fundamental structures of the Java 2 language and most of its core libraries and utilities. In terms of programming, it covers object-orientation, software design, structured programming, graphical user interfacing, event-driven programming, multithreading, networking and an introduction to data structures.
Readers are required to have access to the Java Development Kit from Sun, running on PCs, Macs or Unix. There is no reliance in the book on any of the myriad of development environments that are available. Students would normally be in their first year at a university or college, and could be in the science, engineering, commerce or liberal arts faculties: the examples are sufficiently wide-ranging to cater for all.
The book does not require mathematical experience, and would certainly be accessible for school pupils taking computer science in senior years. Because there is an emphasis on facts and examples, rather than long discussions, the book would also be suitable for experienced programmers or hobbyists who wish to pick up Java quickly.
