Java: How to program by Deitel, P.; Deitel, H. Intended for use in the Java programming course

The Deitels' groundbreaking How to Program series offers unparalleled breadth and depth of object-oriented programming concepts and intermediate-level topics for further study. Java How to Program (Late Objects), 10th Edition, teaches programming by presenting the concepts in the context of full working programs.

This program presents a better teaching and learning experience--for you and your students.

Teach Programming with the Deitels' Signature Live Code Approach: Java language features are introduced with thousands of lines of code in hundreds of complete working programs.
Use a Late Objects Approach: The Late Objects Version begins with a rich treatment of procedural programming, including two full chapters on control statements and 200+ exercises.
Keep Your Course Current: This edition can be used with Java SE 7 or Java SE 8, and is up-to-date with the latest technologies and advancements.
Facilitate Learning with Outstanding Applied Pedagogy: Making a Difference exercise sets, projects, and hundreds of valuable programming tips help students apply concepts.
