Do you like playing computer games? Do you enjoy solving puzzles? If so, you may enjoy computer programming.

Are you a hands-on kind of person? Would you rather start on a project right away instead of first reading long chapters about how things work? Do you lose interest if too much technical information is presented at a time? If so, this may be the right book for you.

In this book you'll learn Java programming fundamentals while creating a wide variety of puzzles and games.

What is discovery learning?

Learn using a hands-on, "try-it" approach. Do the steps shown and see what happens.

Start writing complete programs right away.

Learn Java programming techniques more by doing programming than by reading about them.

Fill in the blanks to write the programs yourself. The answers are at the back of the book.

Discover how, when, and why Java programs are written the way they are.
