With Revel® for Starting Out with Java: Control Structures Through Objects, CS1 author and instructor Tony Gaddis uses a step-by-step approach to introduce students to programming in Java. Procedural programming, control structures and methods, is covered before object-oriented programming to ensure that students understand fundamental programming and problem-solving concepts. Every chapter includes clear and easy-to-read code listings, concise and practical real-world examples, focused explanations, and an abundance of exercises. The 8th Edition introduces students to JShell, including JShell experiment sections that offer students opportunities to explore Java coding and prototyping. Updated topics include new coverage of JavaFX, several new String methods, variable declarations using var to simplify complex variable declarations, expanded inheritance coverage, and more. Revel empowers you to actively participate in learning. More than a digital textbook, Revel delivers an engaging blend of author content, media, and assessment. With Revel, you can read and practice essential coding skills in one continuous experience—anytime, anywhere, on any device.
