- Textbook information: I expect to provide many electronic handouts but having a
text book to get the big picture is very important. The text for
our section is Java 5.0 Program Design, McGraw-Hill, Cohoon and
Davidson, 2006. It comes in several packages with different ISBN
numbers. One of them is ISBN 9780072961133. I strongly suggest
just getting the book itself. All the software you need will be
provided in class. There are plenty of used books on the
market. Just make sure it says Java 5.0 Program Design. Do not
get a used book that does not have 5.0 in the title. It would be
a much earlier edition, which does not provide the many new Java
features that we will be using.
