From the Back Cover
Offers hundreds of exercises that cover introductory and intermediate Java programming concepts by enabling users to "learn by doing." The signature Deitel "Live-Code" approach is to present concepts and examples in the context of complete, working programs, and this manual's lab exercises extend this teaching methodology by allowing users to create their own working programs. The Lab Exercises include problem descriptions, sample outputs, problem-solving tips and follow-up questions and activities. Postlab Activities offer additional coding exercises and substantial programming problems that can further the users' understanding of the material. Each of the 12 chapters in the lab manual corresponds to its respective chapter in Java How to Program, Fifth Edition so that the lab activities reinforce concepts presented in the book. The Deitels cover all facets of the Java language, including object-orientation, multithreading, exception handling, the Java event programming model, GUI with Swing and AWT, graphics, and much more. You'll also find a set of core design patterns that are integrated throughout along with all new coverage of JDBC, SQL, n-tier, Web-application development with servlets and JSP, plus an introduction to XML processing with the Java XML library. For all beginning programmers -- and developers experienced with traditional languages -- who want to master Java quickly.
