商品描述

Currently used at many colleges, universities, and high schools, this hands-on introduction to computer science is ideal for people with little or no programming experience. The goal of this concise book is not just to teach you Java, but to help you think like a computer scientist. You'll learn how to program--a useful skill by itself--but you'll also discover how to use programming as a means to an end.

Authors Allen Downey and Chris Mayfield start with the most basic concepts and gradually move into topics that are more complex, such as recursion and object-oriented programming. Each brief chapter covers the material for one week of a college course and includes exercises to help you practice what you've learned.

  • Learn one concept at a time: tackle complex topics in a series of small steps with examples
  • Understand how to formulate problems, think creatively about solutions, and write programs clearly and accurately
  • Determine which development techniques work best for you, and practice the important skill of debugging
  • Learn relationships among input and output, decisions and loops, classes and methods, strings and arrays
  • Work on exercises involving word games, graphics, puzzles, and playing cards

The updated second edition of Think Java also features new chapters on polymorphism and data processing, as well as content covering changes through Java 12.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本簡潔的書籍目前在許多大學、學院和高中使用，是一本適合沒有或只有少量程式設計經驗的人的實踐性計算機科學入門書。這本書的目標不僅僅是教你Java，更重要的是幫助你像一個計算機科學家一樣思考。你將學習如何編程 - 這本身就是一項有用的技能 - 但你還將發現如何將編程作為達到目標的手段。

作者Allen Downey和Chris Mayfield從最基本的概念開始，逐漸深入探討更複雜的主題，如遞迴和面向對象編程。每個簡短的章節涵蓋了一周大學課程的內容，並包含練習題，幫助你練習所學的知識。

- 逐步學習：以一系列小步驟和例子解決複雜的主題
- 理解如何提出問題，創造性地思考解決方案，並清晰準確地撰寫程式
- 確定哪種開發技術最適合你，並練習重要的調試技巧
- 學習輸入和輸出、決策和循環、類和方法、字符串和數組之間的關係
- 通過單詞遊戲、圖形、拼圖和撲克牌等練習題進行實踐

更新的第二版《Think Java》還新增了關於多態性和數據處理的章節，並涵蓋了Java 12的變化內容。
