Practical organization helps students grasp important concepts before applying them Revised - JavaFX has replaced Swing in the chapters that focus on GUI development. Three chapters (Ch. 12-14) discuss basics of (GUI) applications with JavaFX, CSS styling and advanced user interface controls, and 2D shapes, animation, visual effects, playing audio and video, and responding to mouse and keyboard events. Updated -  Online Database Chapter 22 now uses JavaFX instead of Swing for its GUI applications. Chapters 23 — 25 (Online): Legacy Swing GUI Chapters. The previous edition’s chapters on Swing GUI and Applet programming are now available on the book's companion website (at www.pearson.com/cs-resources) as Chapters 23 through 25.   Pedagogical features convey and reinforce major concepts Several new, motivational programming problems have been added throughout the book. Updated - VideoNotes developed specifically for this book are available at www.pearsonhighered.com/cs-resources. Icons appear throughout the text alerting the student to videos about specific topics.
