For courses in programming and computer science.

Introduction to Programming with Greenfoot: Object-Oriented Programming in Java with Games and Simulations teaches the basics of Java computer programming languages in the context of Greenfoot. Students are able to learn the general fundamentals and principles of programming by creating their very own fun and interesting games and simulations. Major concepts are conveyed in modern, object-oriented programming language through hands-on, practical activity that allows students to create, observe, and play.


The 2nd Edition employs a unique approach that teaches by doing--concepts are often explained after students have had a chance to engage in interactive examples. Because of its uniquely hands-on approach in the context of the Greenfoot environment, Introduction to Programming with Greenfoot makes programming a fun, interactive subject for students to enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to understand but maybe a bit pricey.

A great book for a introduction to Java. The concept and practices are simple and very easy to understand.
but I would not recommend it for someone who already have experience with Java, but really best for absolute beginner.
I feel that it maybe a bit pricey for the content, but I still love it.

This is an excellent update to a good book. More programs/games/scenarios with better and fuller explanations. Additional, short programming activities to build confidence and skill. Michael Kolling is brilliant.

I enjoyed the ease of shopping and quick shipping. Easy to see what you purchased and easy to view past purchases. Didn’t like the reoccurring charges. Didn’t use it enough to make it cost effective.

Very good book for teaching intro to programming. New edition has "drill and practice" sections at the end of each chapter (which was something the first edition was missing).
