Author Description

Pearson+ gives you access to much more than your eTextbook. Most titles also include audiobooks, study notes, flashcards and more to help you thrive in the classroom. For courses in Java programming. Teaches Java programming faster, broader, and more deeply The Deitels’ groundbreaking How to Program series explores fundamentals, object-oriented concepts, and intermediate-level topics for further study. Java How to Program: An Objects-Natural Approach is a friendly, contemporary, code-intensive, case study-oriented introduction to one of the world’s most popular programming languages. It offers real-world examples, early classes and objects, and the authors’ signature live-code approach that teaches by presenting concepts in the context of complete working programs. The 12th Edition introduces an objects-natural approach that begins with programming fundamentals in early chapters, before students develop their own custom classes; however, this approach then provides abundant practice using powerful existing classes, quickly creating objects of those classes (typically with 1 line of code) and telling them to “strut their stuff” with a minimal number of Java statements. Additionally, genAI is integrated throughout for its potential to profoundly enhance Java education, with guidance for students on leveraging these tools effectively while maintaining a cautious and critical mindset. Students will use gen AI to learn genAI, with a focus on prompt engineering, crafting and refining prompts to achieve optimal results.
