(More customer reviews)Hi,
I'm a student using this as a textbook for intro to Object Oriented Programming using Java. This book is a nightmare. Please, if you're an instructor, don't use this book for your class. Me and others alike who are novices are confused by this book. If you use this book, expect to re-explain a lot to your students. The explanations of the basics are very confusing, as well as the wording alone. I'm confused by the wording of basic concepts I even understood in the text. It seems to get a little better once you get the roots of the programming down. But for me the most important part of a text is explaining the core concepts. Maybe this isn't for the novice, but for those of us in my class who are, we agree, just don't get this book.

"An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming with Java" provides an accessible and thorough introduction to the basics of programming in java. This much-anticipated revision continues its emphasis on object-oriented programming. Objects are used early so students begin thinking in an object-oriented way, then later Wu teaches students to define their own classes. In the third edition, the author has eliminated the author-written classes, so students get accustomed to using the standard java libraries. Also, new is the use of smaller complete code examples to enhance student learning. The larger sample development programs are continued in this edition, giving students an opportunity to walk incrementally walk through program design, learning the fundamentals of software engineering. The number and variety of examples makes this a student-friendly text that teaches by showing. Object diagrams continue to be an important element of Wu's approach. The consistent, visual approach assists students in understanding concepts.
