Java Foundations: Introduction to Program Design and Data Structures 4th Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
A Concise, Comprehensive Approach to Java Programming
Java Foundations is a comprehensive textbook for introductory programming sequences. The versatile layout supports a two-or three-semester schedule and introduces you to the world of programming―from the basics, to complex data structures. Inspired by the success of their highly successful text, Java Software Solutions, authors Lewis, DePasquale and Chase build a solid framework for lasting comprehension.
The Fourth Edition is updated and revised to keep the content fully up-to-speed while incorporating changes from user feedback. One such revision is maintaining a section on Swing in addition to a separate chapter dedicated to JavaFX. Although JavaFX is slated to replace Swing as the main graphics package in Java, the large amount of existing Swing code will continue to make it relevant for some time to come. The overall flow of the text is redesigned for intuitive progression through programming discussions and problem solving.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2020No problems at all. Got exactly what I asked for
- Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2016Delivered really fast and it's in great condition, however there's really no difference between the fourth and third edition of this book. Just gonna throw that out there
- Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2015This book is a fantastic computer science book, not just a Java book. It covers many transferable topics. Data structures, stack, booleans, and much much more.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2013I just felt like this is for someone who is already familiar. They made it harder for beginners and did not do step by steps. Hate this book because it is making me fall behind in class. When i view youtube videos i feel like i get more from it. so you already know if you have this class switch out of it and into a class that doesnt require this book, HORRIBLE
- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2010Hi, I a Management Information Systems major from Mississippi. I bought the book for Computer Science Level 3 class and I must say I like this book. In the past, I've had Java 6 Illuminated for Computer Science I (good book), then Data Structures and Algorithms (good amount of information but not as user friendly) which was for Computer Science II, and now this book for level 3. I didn't think it was going to get any better than the book I had from Level 1, but I think this one does that. It gives you the basics along with the advanced topics and is very user friendly with the examples included in the book. Instead of chapter after chapter of information crammed into a book without an adequate amount of examples. This is a keeper even after class is over. Great Book!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2019Great book for needing to know about java
- Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2015Have to have it for school,better price here than anywhere else and it is exactly what it is meant to be.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2013The book is very expensive and provide unclear instructions. I am not a programmer and have very little programming experience. I purchased the book because it was required for a college course. I figured that if I read the book I would be fine. Unfortunately, that was not the case, I was confused in every chapter. The Arthur used jargon that is familiar to seasoned programmers.
I have found other books to be more useful than this one. If you have a seasoned programmer, this book may be right for you. If you are not a season programmer or a beginner/novice, I would recommend to look somewhere else.
