Fundamentals of Java Programming by CCS Big Data Analytics & Data Mining Program Director Mitsunori Ogihara is now available in hardback.

Making extensive use of examples, Fundamentals of Java Programming teaches the fundamental skills for getting started in a command-line environment. Meant to be used for a one-semester course to build solid foundations in Java, the textbook eschews second-semester content to concentrate on over 180 code examples and 250 exercises.

Key object classes (String, Scanner, PrintStream, Arrays, and File) are included to get started. The programs are explained with almost line-by-line descriptions, also with chapter-by-chapter coding exercises. Teaching resources include solutions to the exercises, as well as digital lecture slides.
