Modern Software Development Using Java, Second Edition

Now updated for the latest release of Java, the Second Edition of Modern Software Development Using Java continues to blaze a new path for today's CS2 students. Tymann and Schneider's contemporary approach focuses on what students need to learn in the CS2 course in order to appreciate what is truly important today in the areas of software design and development. This text covers such current software development ideas as object-oriented design, UML, data structure libraries, net-centric programming, threads, and GUIs, all presented in a way that is fully accessible and motivating. The new edition has been fully revised to take advantage of the new features in Java 5.0, and all material is Java 6.0 compliant.
