The Deitels’ groundbreaking How to Program series explores fundamentals, object-oriented concepts, and intermediate-level topics for further study. Java How to Program: An Objects-Natural Approach is a friendly, code-intensive, case study-oriented introduction to one of the world’s most popular programming languages. It offers real-world examples, early classes and objects, and the authors’ signature live-code approach. Along with a thorough study of Java fundamentals and algorithm development, you’ll master Java’s basics by immersing yourself in hundreds of complete working code examples with meaningful outputs.

The 12th Edition introduces a new objects-natural approach that gives you ample practice using powerful existing classes, helping you to quickly create objects of those classes (typically with 1 line of code) and then tell them to “strut their stuff” with a minimal number of Java statements. You’ll also master genAI, the key set of artificial-intelligence technologies that leverage your creative capabilities. In the examples and exercises, you’ll use prompts and build programs that produce original text, Java code, images, audio, speech, music, and even video!
