Textbook in PDF format

Introduction to Programming Using Java, is online textbook on introductory programming, which uses Java as the language of instruction. This book is directed mainly towards beginning programmers, although it might also be useful for experienced programmers who want to learn something about Java. It is not meant to provide complete coverage of the Java language. The eighth edition requires Java 8 or later, and it uses JavaFX for GUI programming. Version 8.1 is a small update of Version 8. This version briefly covers some of the new features in Java 11 and makes it clearer how to use this book with Java 11 and later. All sample programs and exercise solutions have been compiled with Java 11 and with Java 12, as well as with Java 8. In style, this is a textbook rather than a tutorial. This is certainly not a Java reference book, and it is not a comprehensive survey of all the features of Java. It is not written as a quick introduction to Java for people who already know another programming language. I believe that Introduction to Programming using Java is fully competitive with the conventionally published, printed programming textbooks that are available on the market !
