Correlation to the Previous Edition

This Book (10E) What's New Previous Book (9E)
Global Changes
  • Updated to Java 8.
  • JavaFX replaces Swing. JavaFX is the new framework for GUI programming in Java. Instructors will switch from Swing to JavaFX, because JavaFX is easier to learn than Swing. The 10E covers GUI in three chapters, while the 9E covers GUI in five chapters.
  • Using Lambda expressions for anonymous inner classes greatly simplifies coding and makes the program easy to read.
  • Covers the methods in the Math class in earlier Chapter 4 to enable the math functions to be used early.
  • Covers introductions to objects and strings earlier in Chapter 4 to enable students to use objects and strings to develop interesting programs early.
  • Includes many new interesting examples and exercises to stimulate interests. More than 100 additional new exercises with solutions are provided to instructors on the companion Website. These exercises are not printed in the text.
  • Introduces exception handling, abstract classes, and interfaces before GUI programming to enable the GUI chapters to be skipped completely if the instructor chooses not to cover GUI.
  • Links to quiz are provided at the end of chapter to test student's understanding for the whole chapter.
  • The background of the slides are changed to white in respond to many requests from our users.
  • Brands new chapters: Chapters 4, 14-16, 34.
  • Chapters with substantial revisions: Chapters 28-29.
