Building Java Programs: A Back to Basics Approach, Third Edition, introduces novice programmers to basic constructs and common pitfalls by emphasizing the essentials of procedural programming, problem solving, and algorithmic reasoning.
By using objects early to solve interesting problems and defining objects later in the course, Building Java Programs develops programming knowledge for a broad audience.NEW! This edition is available with, an innovative online homework and assessment tool. Through the power of practice and immediate personalized feedback, MyProgrammingLab helps students fully grasp the logic, semantics, and syntax of programming.Note: If you are purchasing the standalone text or electronic version, MyProgrammingLab does not come automatically packaged with the text.

A back-to-basics presentation focuses on a traditional procedural approach first then builds into object-oriented programming, which allows students to learn both styles of programming. Detailed explanations build problem-solving skills by showing students how to apply programming constructs and common pitfalls to avoid.
The text is problem-centered, and talks in detail about how to apply constructs instead of simply describing them. A l ayered organization eases students into the early chapters before expanding into in-depth discussions. Control structure coverage is spread out in the early chapters.
Case study examples at the end of each chapter illustrate how to apply concepts in a mid-sized program.Student Resources. VideoNotes: VideoNotes are step-by-step video tutorials specifically designed to enhance the programming concepts presented in Building Java Programs: A Back to Basics Approach.
Students can view the entire problem-solving process outside of the classroom–when they need help the most. VideoNotes are available with the purchase of a new copy of select titles.

MyProgrammingLab is not a self-paced technology and should only be purchased when required by an instructor.Answers to all self-check problems appear on the authors’ web site at and are accessible to anyone. New To This Edition. Two new chapters. The authors have created new chapters that extend the coverage of the book, using material that they present in their second course in computer science. Chapter 14 explores programming with stacks and queues. Chapter 18 examines the implementation of hash tables and heaps. These expand on Chapters 15—17 added in the second edition that discuss implementation of collection classes using arrays, linked lists, and binary trees.
New section on recursive backtracking. Backtracking is a powerful technique for exploring a set of possibilities for solving a problem. Chapter 12 now has a section on backtracking and examines several problems in detail, including the 8 Queens problem and Sudoku.
Expanded self-checks and programming exercises. The authors have significantly increased the number and quality of self-check exercises and programming exercises incorporating new problems in each chapter.
There are now roughly fifty total problems and exercises per chapter, all of which have been class-tested with real students and have solutions provided for instructors on our web site.
