Object-Oriented Data Structures Using Java

Based off the highly successful Programming and Problem Solving with C++ which Dale is famous for, comes the new Brief Edition, perfect for the one-term course. The text was motivated by the need for a text that covered only what instructors and students are able to move through in a single semester without sacrificing the breadth and detail necessary for the introductory programmer. The authors excite and engage students in the learning process with their accessible writing style, rich pedagogy, and relevant examples. This Brief Edition introduces the new Software Maintenance Case Studies element that teaches students how to read code in order to debug, alter, or enhance existing class or code segments.

This book continues to reflect our experience that topics once considered too advanced can be taught in the first course. The text addresses metalanguages explicitly as the formal means of specifying programming language syntax. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.

Widely accepted as a model textbook for ACM/IEEE-recommended curricula for introductory computer science courses, Programming and Problem Solving with C++, Seventh Edition continues to reflect the authors' philosophy of guiding students through the content in an accessible and approachable way. It offers full coverage of all necessary content enabling the book to be used across two terms, and provides numerous features to help students fully understand and retain important concepts from each chapter.

"Programming and Problem Solving with C++ is appropriate for the introductory C++ programming course at the undergraduate level. Due to its coverage, it can be used in a one or two semester course. Competitive advantages of this title include: The reputation of the authors Appropriate and thorough coverage of C++ topics for the beginner programmer Clear examples and exercises, with hands-on examples and case studies"--

Extensively revised, the new Second Edition of Programming and Problem Solving with Java continues to be the most student-friendly text available. The authors carefully broke the text into smaller, more manageable pieces by reorganizing chapters, allowing student to focus more sharply on the important information at hand. Using Dale and Weems' highly effective "progressive objects" approach, students begin with very simple yet useful class design in parallel with the introduction of Java's basic data types, arithmetic operations, control structures, and file I/O. Students see first hand how the library of objects steadily grows larger, enabling ever more sophisticated applications to be developed through reuse. Later chapters focus on inheritance and polymorphism, using the firm foundation that has been established by steadily developing numerous classes in the early part of the text. A new chapter on Data Structures and Collections has been added making the text ideal for a one or two-semester course. With its numerous new case studies, end-of-chapter material, and clear descriptive examples, the Second Edition is an exceptional text for discovering Java as a first programming language!

Programming and Problem Solving with Java

This concise and consolidated edition of the bestselling Programming and Problem Solving with C++ was developed in response to the need for a text that covered only what students and instructors are able to move through in a single semester. Sacrificing none of the breadth and detail of the comprehensive edition, the Brief Edition retains Dale and Weems ́ђةs trademark accessible and hands-on style. Highly relevant real-world examples and strong pedagogical features will engage students as they build key skills and absorb critical concepts. The text ́ђةs student-focused approach makes even the most difficult concepts in computer science programming accessible to all students. Expanded and reorganized, Programming and Problem Solving with C++: Brief, Sixth Edition presents advanced topics at the introductory level and is the ideal text for one-term introductory computer science programming courses.

Data Structures in Java is a continuation of Nell Dale's best-selling Introduction to Java and Software Design text. Data Structures is designed for students who have already taken one semester of computer science and are able to take a problem of medium complexity, write an algorithm to solve the problem, code the algorithm in a programming language, and demonstrate the correctness of their solution. The focus is on teaching computer science principles with chapter concepts being reinforced by case studies. The object-oriented concepts of encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism are covered, while the book remains centered on abstract data types.

Brief Edition

The best-selling Programming and Problem Solving with C++, now in it's Sixth Edition, remains the clearest introduction to C++, object-oriented programming, and software development available. Renowned author team Nell Dale and Chip Weems are careful to include all topics and guidelines put forth by the ACM/IEEE to make this text ideal for the one- or two-term CS1 course. Their philosophy centers on making the difficult concepts of computer science programming accessible to all students, while maintaining the breadth of detail and topics covered. Key Features: -The coverage of advanced object-oriented design and data structures has been moved to later in the text. -Provides the highly successful concise and student-friendly writing style that is a trademark for the Dale/Weems textbook series in computer science. -Introduces C++ language constructs in parallel with the appropriate theory so students see and understand its practical application. -Strong pedagogical elements, a hallmark feature of Dale/Weems' successful hands-on teaching approach, include Software Maintenance case studies, Problem-Solving case studies, Testing & Debugging exercises, Exam Preparation exercises, Programming Warm-up exercises, Programming Problems, Demonstration Projects, and Quick Check exercises. -A complete package of student and instructor resources include a student companion website containing all the source code for the programs and exercises in the text, additional appendices with C++ reference material and further discussion of topics from the text, and a complete digital lab manual in C++. Instructors are provided all the solutions to the exercises in the text, the source code, a Test Bank, and PowerPoint Lecture Outlines organized by chapter.

Programming and Problem Solving with Ada 95 provides a solid introduction to programming while introducing the capabilities of Ada 95 and its syntax without overwhelming the student. The book focuses on the development of good programming habits. This text offers superior pedagogy that has long defined computer science education, including problem solving case studies, testing and debugging sections, quick checks, exam preparation, programming warm-up exercises, and programming problems. The extensive coverage of material in such a student-friendly resource means that more rigor, more theory, greater use of abstraction and modeling, and the earlier application of software engineering principles can be employed.

Programming and Problem Solving with ADA 95

Introduction to Pascal and Structured Design, provides a concise, accessible introduction to computer science. Using Pascal programming as a tool to shape students' understanding of the discipline, the text offers a strong focus on good programming habits and techniques. The smooth integration of programming essentials, software engineering principles and contemporary theory creates an effective blend for students' first courses in computer science. An emphasis on conceptual understanding, problem solving, and algorithmic design teaches the skills needed for effective program implementation. A wide array of in-text learning aids, including Problem-Solving Case Studies, ample exercises and problems, and nine useful appendices, completes the text. Click here for downloadable student files

Introduction to Pascal and Structured Design

Thoroughly revised and updated Turbo Pascal retains the excellent pedagogy, outstanding clarity, and balanced presentation that marked earlier editions as leaders in computer science education. An emphasis on problem solving and algorithmic design teaches students to implement programs most effectively. A sensible organization introduces concepts where students need them most, and an extensive and varied selection of exercises and case studies support and strengthen concepts learned. In addition, all programming examples follow well-defined methodologies that reinforce proper problem-solving principles.
