This book is for novices If you have never done any programming before - if you are a complete novice - this book is for you. This book assumes no prior knowledge of programming. It starts from scratch. It is written in a simple, direct style for maximum clarity. It is aimed at first level students at universities and colleges, but it is also suitable for novices studying alone. The approach of this book We explain how to use objects early in this book. Our approach is to start with the ideas of variables, assignment and methods, then introduce the use of objects created from library classes. Next we explain how to use control structures for selection and looping. Then comes the treatment of how to write your own classes. We wanted to make sure that the fun element of programming was paramount, so we use graphics right from the start. We think graphics is fun, interesting and clearly demonstrates all the important principles of programming. But we haven't ignored programs that input and output text - they are also included. The programs we present use many of the features of a graphical user interfaces (GUIs), such as buttons, scroll bars and text boxes. But we also explain how to write console programs in Java. We introduce new ideas carefully one-at-a-time, rather than all at once. So, for example, there is a single chapter on writing methods. We introduce simple ideas early and more sophisticated ideas later on.

A DEMON IN A PICKLE JAR? That's what Juanita claimed, but to Mojo the thing in the jar looked more like a diseased crab apple. But that was before Grandmother called the Dark Lady of Guadalupe--and blue lightning struck and the Hounds of Hell came out and strange saints like the Black Lord of Chalma began popping up around Mojo like hothouse flowers. Mojo will discover what's in the jar...and along the way he'll learn what the secret of hell really is, how to preach down an archdevil by belittling his genitalia...and why you must always have a statue of Elvis on the dashboard of your car...in Douglas Bell's Mojo and the Pickle Jar.
