I am currently (up until now) using the Lambert and Osborne (2002) "A Framework For Programming and Problem Solving". I am not sure if anyone else is familiar with this text ?
If anyone is familiar with it, can they comment about at what stage of their java career they began using it ? And what they thought about it ? I am thinking that this text stops being useful as an introductory text when it gets to chapter 12 and begins to talk about recursion,complexity and searching and sorting.... It becomes complex at about this point. I have gotten to about half way through it and it has become quite complex after that. So I am thinking now might be a good time to look for another more basic text....? ================================================================ 2 texts that may be more suitable come to mind :- 1) Java Software Solutions by Lewis and Loftus 2) Java From the Beginning by King Does anyone know about these texts ? Are they more suited for someone at the introductory level ? Do they get very complex ? (As complex as the Lambert and Osborne text gets at chapter 11 and thereafter....) What are these texts like ? Can someone comment on this .... ???? =============================================================== Is anyone familiar with the Java101 column that runs in the www.javaworld.com magazine ? Is this a good column for teaching introductory java students ? Could the Java101 column be used as a tool for teaching introductroy java students ? =============================================================== To change your JDJList options, please visit: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm
