Summary

Programmers, computer scientists, and engineers need a book that delivers the essentials of how to program using Java in a more accessible, less rigorous approach. Java for Everyone provides them with a more user-friendly, graphics-intensive design that conveys complex concepts simply and effectively. It differs from other books in the market by focusing on topics such as loops and graphical interfaces, while avoiding a focus on object-orientation. The emphasis is placed on simple programs that use pre-built data structures and algorithms whenever possible. The examples and case studies explore practical applications that programmers, computer scientists, and engineers will find useful, such as processing tabular data, harvesting Web information, creating custom graphics, and building simple user interfaces.
