Fundamentals of Computer Science using Java uses an object-based approach to the introduction of Computer Science using Java as the programming language. The book is example-based with approximately 50 completely worked examples. The use of a Turtle Graphics library allows early examples and exercises to be interesting while still simple. The use of a basic I/O library allows I/O without having to deal with exceptions and formatting, as would be the case in the standard library.The Fundamental Facts about Fundamental of Computer Science using JavaKey features of the book include 50 complete examples. There are overviews, summaries, review questions (with answers) and exercises (suitable as assignments) for each chapter. Programming patterns (patterned after Design Patterns) are used to explain common programming techniques and are summarized in an appendix. Java syntax notation is explained and used to describe each new construct when it is introduced. A complete glossary is included as an appendix and important new terms are defined in sidebars as they first occur in the chapter text. Software engineering is introduced and the use of CRC cards is used as a design tool. Debugging techniques are described at appropriate points throughout the chapters.An Instructor's Manual provides pedagogic summaries and PowerPoint presentations for each chapter, complete text examples, sample laboratory exercises, tests and exams, solutions to selected chapter exercises, and the TurtleGraphics and Basic I/O libraries.
