Big Java: Early Objects, 7th Edition

Author: Cay Horstmann

Grades 9–12

Course: AP^® Computer Science A

Big Java: Early Objects focuses on the essentials of effective learning and is suitable for a two-semester introduction to programming sequence. This text requires no prior programming experience and only a modest amount of high school algebra. The program can be used as the core text to prepare students for success on the AP Computer Science A exam.

Objects and classes from the standard library are used where appropriate in early sections with coverage on object-oriented design starting in chapter eight. This gradual approach allows students to use objects throughout their study of the core algorithmic topics, without teaching bad habits that must be un-learned later. The second half covers algorithms and data structures at a level suitable for beginning students.
