Target Audience

Java For Artists targets both the undergraduate computer science or information technology student and the practicing programmer. It is both an introductory-level textbook and trade book.

As a textbook it employs learning objectives, skill-building exercises, suggested projects, and self-test questions to reinforce the learning experience. The projects offered range from the easy to the extremely challenging. It covers all the topics you’d expect to find in an introductory Java programming textbook and then some.

As a trade book it goes purposefully deeper into topics cut short or avoided completely in most introductory textbooks. Its coverage of advanced GUI programming techniques, network programming and object-oriented theory will enable you to take your skills to a higher level.
