In Big Java, Third Edition, Cay Horstmann provides a comprehensive introduction to fundamental programming techniques and design skills to help the student master basic concepts. Realistic programming examples, homework assignments, and lab exercises build student problem-solving abilities. The book includes a set of advanced chapters that makes the book suitable for a 2-semester course sequence, or as a comprehensive reference to programming in Java. The new edition features a greatly expanded and updated set of resources to support any teaching approach as well as updated coverage of Java 6.0. The homework package has been completely revamped to include a greater quantity and variety of problem types and provide significant new functionality.
