In The Art and Science of Java, Stanford professor and well-known leader in CS Education Eric Roberts emphasizes the student-friendly exposition that led to the success of The Art and Science of C. By following the recommendations of the Association of Computing Machinery's Java Task Force, this first edition text adopts a modern objects-first approach that introduces students to useful hierarchies from the very beginning. Packages are translated into a minimally complex collection of pedagogical resources that make it easier to teach Java while retaining the language's industrial strength.

For courses in Java Programming. Introducing the fundamental concepts of programming with JavaScript A brand new textbook by Eric Roberts, Understanding Programming through JavaScript focuses on the fundamental concepts of programming, and is written for students with no prior knowledge or experience. It draws on a rich pedagogical heritage-including the immersive Karel the Robot microworld, time-testing programming guidelines, and a logical, step-by-step organization-to give them the foundational skills needed to pursue other coding languages, or a career in computer programming. Using the text, students will build their skills and develop live, interactive web applications that really work on web browsers, providing both instant feedback and gratification. This new text includes chapter openers that humanize computing, review questions for student self-testing, and many other valuable features.

Step aboard the Kairos, a recreational cruiser which traverses the Time Vortex itself. Vienna Salvatori is on a mission, and must make her way up the serpentine vehicle, from the crime-ridden rear segments, through the enclosed compartments of the mega-rich, all the way to the front of the ship to face the man who controls it all... the Master! 2.1 Nemesis Express by Robert Whitelock. Vienna Salvatori boards the Kairos in search of a stolen gem, and young thief Passion is hiding out and feels like the ship itself is watching her. Both women are about to be thrown together - and it's no accident. For the ship's Vortex drive has brought the Master back from oblivion, and he has plans for them both. 2.2 Capture the Chronovore! By Lizbeth Myles. Vienna and Passion pursue the Master, but to find out what he's up to they must find a way through the ship's classier compartments. With their weapons confiscated and champagne on ice, they're invited to join an exclusive shooting party, hunting the Vortex's great game - Chronovores! - and the Master is most definitely dressed for the occasion. 2.3 Passion by Robert Valentine. Finally reaching the head of the ship, Vienna and Passion find themselves exactly where the Master wants them. The Time Lord has more than revenge on his mind, however, and if they can't stop him, nothing in the universe will.

Book 1 of the Wolf War Saga by Eric Robert Nolan. ***** There was a time, Rebecca's father had told her, when wolves could not speak. She wished for that time. Rebecca O'Conner is the daughter of a hero, a veteran soldier of The Wolf War. Now, she herself is a Captain in the Special Animal Warfare Service (SAWS), fighting against the super intelligent wolves that have all but destroyed humanity, as her father did. The Dogs Don't Bark In Brooklyn Anymore spans two periods of Rebecca's life; the tumultuous Brooklyn childhood that shapes her future, preparing her for the soldier she must become, and her struggle to keep herself and her squad alive as she prepares to meet her destiny. Her empirical mind rebels against the chaotic dreams that haunt her, suggesting a greater path than she can yet comprehend as she seeks to find an end to the war. The enemy is smart, strong and fearless; the odds are stacked against the human race. Is there hope for us in the war with the wolves? Will humanity prevail and reclaim its place as the dominant species on Earth? Or will the great demonic hound that stalks Rebecca in her sleep close its jaws over the world and drive us to extinction?
