The textbook is authored by Vani Loomba and Ritu Sethi.
This textbook is tailored for BCA (Bachelor of Computer Applications) 3rd-year students at Panjab University, Chandigarh, specifically for the 5th semester.
Java is one of the most widely used programming languages in the world. Its versatility, strong community support, and application in various domains such as software development, mobile applications, and web technologies make it an essential skill for aspiring computer scientists.
The book covers a range of essential topics, including: Java basics and fundamentals Operators and control structures Object-oriented programming concepts (classes, objects, method overloading, inheritance) Advanced topics like method overriding, exception handling, and multi-threading GUI development (Applet programming, AWT, and event handling) Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) Streams, arrays, and strings
The content is organized into chapters that systematically introduce and develop key concepts in Java programming, culminating in practical applications. Each chapter includes exercises to reinforce learning.
The book begins with fundamental concepts and gradually progresses to more advanced topics. With clear explanations, practical examples, and exercises, it is accessible for beginners while providing depth for those with some prior knowledge.
Features include: Emphasis on real-life applications and hands-on coding exercises Clear explanations accompanied by illustrations and examples Exercises at the end of each chapter to test understanding and application skills Coverage of practical programming scenarios, especially in GUI development and database connectivity
The examination consists of 65 external marks and 10 internal marks, totaling 75 marks. It features four sections with a total of nine questions, including a compulsory short answer question covering the entire syllabus.
Students can expect to gain: A solid understanding of Java programming and its principles Proficiency in object-oriented programming Skills to develop graphical user interfaces and databases An ability to handle exceptions and multi-threading in applications Knowledge of implementing programming logic using control structures and methods
