5. Reading Materials
In our library
• A good starting book on Java and OOP:
Java: How to Program
H.M. Deitel & P.J. Deitel (called D&D)
Prentice Hall, 2003 (5th ed.)
Web page: http://www.deitel.com
• There are a lot of editions of this book
– the 4th, 5th, or later editions are fine
– later is better
